Dear NABS Members - National Association of Black Scuba Divers

Dear NABS Members,
This is NABS 25th anniversary, and we want to dedicate this summit to you, the NABS
Family, because you are the reason we’re here today. We thought the best way to celebrate
this anniversary is to go to the land of paradise, the island of Maui in Hawaii. Maui offers
something for everyone, whether you dive or not, and we believe this is the best place to say
thank you to our members.
So that you can enjoy this wonderful island, we have made this summit a la carte, meaning
you can chooses how many days you dive, what days you dive, and what activities you want
to do. We will also have community service activities that you can participate in if you wish.
We hope you join us for our Silver Anniversary; it’s going to be a great time!!

25TH ANNUAL DIVE SUMMIT
KA’ANAPALI BEACH HOTEL
MAUI, HAWAII
NOVEMBER 7 – 14, 2015
The Island:
Maui was named after the demigod Maui, who legends say pulled the Hawaiian Islands from the sea
and lassoed the sun atop Haleakala, the island’s highest peak. Maui is the second largest Hawaiian
Island, with over 120 miles of coastline, and over 30 beaches. Activities available in Maui are surfing,
golfing, hiking, scuba diving, snorkeling, wind surfing, biking, and whale watching (November through
January).
The Hotel:
We will be staying at Ka’anapali Beach Hotel that is located on the northwest coast of Maui, which
was once a retreat for Hawaiian royalty and the capitol of the Hawaiian Kingdom. The hotel is located
on Ka’anapali Beach, which has three miles of white sand, and is one of Maui’s signature beaches.
Ka’anapali Beach Hotel has been recognized as the “Most Hawaiian Hotel” by the Waiaha
Foundation for demonstrating an ongoing responsibility, commitment and dedication to honoring and
perpetuating the Hawaiian culture, they are the only hotel to receive this honor. On staff, they have
full-time Hawaiian cultural advisors who offer their knowledge of Hawaii with guests by hosting 30 fun
Hawaiian cultural activities with different options every day.
If you are planning to rent a car, please be aware that parking cost $11 a day at the hotel.

We will be diving with Lahaina Divers, who have been in existence for
over 35 years. The dive shop is located in the heart of the historical
village of Lahaina, and will use their two 46 ft. boats to take out our

equipped with two fresh water showers, a fly bridge with viewing / seating
for 12 guests, handicap accessible boarding and bathroom, PVC tank
holds, sturdy dual ladders for easy exiting from the water to the vessel,
and a “killer” stereo system.

We’re coordinating with Ka’anapali Hotel to offer you a multitude of activities
that you can do during your stay. Please see the attached activities list and
sign up for what you would like to do, and we will have it ready for you when
