Looking for help planning a good situation for a week in Aug 2021:
• open for covid, all adults vaxed, and likely available now to book for Aug
• offers PADI OWC for 10-year old (he'll have done all but OW in Michigan by June)
• 10-year old has grandparents (my ex-in-laws, who are life-long kamai'ana) on big island. He will have been with them in Waimea a month prior. He's not interested in the tourist luau schtick but is interested in hiking & nature & more authentic culture & history
• offers good diving for me (global experience and much diving on big island mostly out of Kawaihae)
• any island, pref. not big island because (see above); I've been to Maui & Oahu but not spent much time on either island. As a kid I visited Kuai (I'm in 50s now).
• accomodations suitable for my 79-year old mother and her boyfriend (good on her, huh?) who is used to chain operations (Mariott, etc.) and is a little fussy
• so ideally a small resorty sitiation with a dive shop with prices as standard but not over the top
