Surfnewsnetwork.com is a good forecasting site that is pretty user friendly and easy to understand for those diving anywhere in Hawaii - though I mention it particularly for Niihau. An added suggestion for scheduling Niihau trips...Tilt the odds in your favor by booking well in advance AND...

Sorry I didn't get the chance to meet you but I'm glad things worked out. If you or family/friends etc. ever come back please let me know if there is any way that I can help make your visit to the island memorable. Keep on diving! Best of continued island wishes A

Have a great run over there. Bubbles Below will take great care of you I am sure. Have a fantastic time with the monk seals. Be sure to add a trip report to help out others inquiring about the trip! Aloha A ---------- Post added April 23rd, 2013 at 04:14 PM ---------- Ok.... Back above...

Aloha, I get numerous PM's from divers each year regarding the trips to Niihau (off the island of Kauai) and thought I'd get ahead of the curve and start a quick thread.... Each year in the summer months Niihau trips are available to those divers interested in full day trips to the very best...

Aloha, That's fantastic about your divemaster rating. It opens the doors to an amazing world and an amazing life here in the islands. There are a number of areas you may wish to research to determine where it is that you will wish to move in terms of the different islands. Diving in the...

Yep... water should be 77-79! Can't wait. It's around 73 right now -brrrrrrrr! Tunnels may be a little cooler (but just by a degree or so) as it sometimes is influenced by fresh water run off. It's cetainly best with a guide if you really want to experience some of the lesser known lava...

One of the great things about diving in Maui is that there are so many great options for diving. Locations are numerous and varied. Even better is the fact that there are so many professional and talented divemasters there. I have heard nothing but the most positive feedback about Shaka Doug...

As a long time DM/instructor in Hawaii I've dove with a number of shops throughout the islands - including Maui. The service over there has always been great in my opinion and it certainly offers great variety. The shore diving over there is also fantastic. I've heard many great things about...

Aloha again and thanks for the kind words.... Fathom and our shop both rent 5mm suits. We all so have 3mm fulls if you wanted to double up. Fathom likely offers some sort of layering option as well. Some divers get away with 3mm shorties here but in my humble opinion they are the exception...

Aloha! Diving is very limited on the north shore of the island and for all intents and purposes the only dive is the shore dive at Tunnels beach. It's a stunning back drop for a dive and a very interesting dive. There is NO question that Jeanette at Tunnels knows and loves this dive better...

Aloha! Diving is great in April! The Humpback Whales will be gone for the most part and the Niihau season will not have opened regularly just yet but the south side of the island will wide open. The signature dive on the south shore is Sheraton Caverns. It's an awesome dive and excellent for...

Aloha Jason, I actually do still have the new regulator. If a buyer is interested I also have a micron octo that is brand new as well. Anthony

With spring about here we are all getting excited about the upcoming Niihau season! If you happen to be visiting Kauai between May-Aug you should look into the trip to the Forbidden Island of Niihau. It ranks among the very best of diving in the Hawaiian islands and is a must do. Perhaps the...

Well, I guess it's clear that opinions vary just a tiny tiny bit huh? DISCLAIMER: I've been diving in Hawaii for 14 years and am addicted so my opinions will reflect that just a touch. I'm with Scottie and his feelings about reviews based on a handful of dives. At the same time I realize that...

One of the great things about diving here on Kauai is that you'll find rave reviews for all the companies here. I've felt for years that the overall professionalism among DM's here is impressive to say the least. The nature of the diving here requires a high level of dedication on the part of...

Seasport does run out of Koloa/Poipu still on the Anela Kai and smaller Anuhea. Several captains are still there from 2010. If u are considering returning remember you can request both DM's and Captains. If you have someone you'd like to avoid that can be accommodated as well. If you have a...

Selling a brand new Aqualung Micron regulator that is still it's original container and has never been out of the box. This regulator retails for around $475-500 online but I will sell for a discount. Sorry if you are looking for a crazy steal this wont be it, but a reasonable offer for a brand...

That's a great time to be here on island and I'm sure you will find that there are many highly professional and experienced guides here. You'll find a great deal of bang for the buck by getting a guide for the Koloa Landing shore dive. As mentioned in the previous post there are lots of...

Big surf hitting this week and likely to start the trend of north swells. South shore getting a late season bump this weekend as well. Your best bet is to do a shore dive at Koloa as was mentioned or snorkel at Poipu beach or Prince Kuhio (more advanced). Good luck

You'll find through responses that each island has things that are unique and make the diving there great. Hawaii has a great deal of diversity and that is one of the many draws to diving here. You may want to express your areas of interest and what you are looking for. You'll also see that...
