diving and whale watching in Lanai

[rjdiver]

I have a company trip to Four Seasons Lanai at Manele Bay. This is my first trip to Hawaii. Does anyone have any recommendations for a dive shop for a 2-tank dive? I would love to dive every day, but I have a non-diving wife.

We will be there the week of Feb 11. I have read that many dive boats and snorkel trips see whales. My wife doesn't want to snorkel since we do that a lot in Cayman. I want to see some whales. Is there a good chance on a 2-tank dive trip, or should I try to book a whale watching tour?

Thanks for your help,
Rob

The only dive operator on Lanai is Trilogy. There are no other options that I am aware of, unless you shore dive on your own.

Trilogy has a set schedule and does not go out every day. The schedule is on their website, I can't recall it offhand but it's easily found if you google it. Small discount if you book online. The price for a 2 tank charter is really expensive - even for Hawaii. When I booked my dive for this past August, I recall it was around $170 - 180, gear included.

I actually ended up not being able to dive because the boat had some sort of problems the night before, and I couldn't reschedule because I was only there for the weekend.
