Two step aka place of refuge is the best shore dive on the island. Living there and owning a boat I still shore dove more there than anywhere else. Puako is awsome, old airport is pretty good. Look up shorediving.com for dive instructions.
Enjoy your visit.
Aloha
Enjoy your visit.

I'll second the two-step suggestion for shore dives. I used Big Island Divers - great!
Don't miss the the Monday night Manta dive followed by a Black water dive. Out of this world!

I was there just a month ago and did quite a bit of snorkeling at two steps. No diving there though. Was quite nice. I'll also reiterate what another poster said. DO THE MANTA RAY DIVE. You'll bite yourself if you don't.
Three pictures I took from the manta ray dive.
I went with Jack's Diving Locker. Great operation and some boats have hot showers onboard. (Well, hot water comes out of a hose, but it's good enough for me.) It was well appreciated after the night dive.

In 2004 I dived the place of refuge. Wonderful place to dive. Watch where you put your fingers getting in and out of the water. There are urchins in all of those little holes in the lava.
Again I will throw out my recomendation to use Big Isle Divers for the manta dive as they are the only ones (almost) that can follow up the manta dive with an even better black water dive. Also do this dive early in your trip to allow for bad weather. DONT MISS IT!
