Mikal worked on SCUBA boats. He knew then that someday he would run a dive company of his own. During his thirty year architecture career, he also became a PADI IDC Staff Instructor, and a commercial captain. While along this journey, he studied boats, and over time, planned and designed Maui Pacific Divers’ versatile adventure vessel.
Epic building projects like this come naturally to Mikal. He is a sculptor, loves building treehouses, and will sometimes point out oceanfront houses of his design. His next project is a submersible ROV!
The other half of the duo, Maggie organizes your booking and makes sure all the details are just right for your trip, and then she jumps aboard as crew! As with Mikal, Maui Pacific Divers is her second career. Maggie is an artist and educator, using art to help Maui’s youth more deeply engage with the ecology of their island home. She was born and raised in Upcountry Maui and often shares stories about the island and the work being done to care for its diverse habitats. Sometimes she even brings her watercolors along on the boat to paint the views that can only be enjoyed from the ocean.
