    Shore entry to the manta dive at the Sheraton

    I am making a return dive trip to Kona in August, and I will be staying at a condo a few blocks away from the Sheraton. I am wondering if anyone has done the manta night dive at the Sheraton as a shore dive. I did a boat dive at the old airport last year, and it was wonderful, but super...

    Decompression sickness: Driving from Hilo to Kona after diving?

    It has been a good year

    Shot all over from the Florida Keys to a quaint hotel pool in Kosrae and especially in my own backyard of Kona, this past year has left me with a lot of random video clips that each bring back a vivid memory for me. I'm usually much more of a still photographer, so all comments on videography...
