Finally. I get to back to Kona and Kauai in September. I have almost everything. Places to stay, cars, flights.
What's missing, you ask?
DIVING!
I'm looking for recommendations for dive shops for Kona and Kauai.
I've been with Jack's at Kona (10 years ago!) and we were skunked on the Manta dive, other than that, practically perfect.
I've been with Fathom Five several times on Kauai. Always great.
But, it's been years, and things change.
Anyone want to make recommendations based on recent experiences? I plan to dive my brains out at Kona (at least 5 days) and dive at least 3 days at Kauai. Probably mostly boat diving, but if I can find a local buddy or guide, I'm open to shore diving, too. My wife no longer dives, but boats that also take a few snorkelers would be a bonus.
I've got AOW and Nitrox, plus a few other certs, and I do SoCal shore diving. I want more than the "all beginners, 50 ft max" and less than "wreck penetration @140ft with no viz in a 10 kt current".
This is my first vacation of more than 6 days in over 8 years, so can you tell I'm excited?
