Sooo, planning a lot of diving in the next few months and first stop is Hawaii, any advice, thoughts etc will be welcomed
Im landing at 6am in May in Honolulu after that i have soo many options.
I want to dive the North Shore for the lava tubes (been told these are the best), any recommendations? Ive taken a look at websites but seem a little hard to find times without booking on a few, can i get 4 dives in in a day? A lot seem to have 7-11ish dives and 10 -2 dives so i could only get one double tanker in! Id look at spending 2 days diving on the north shore.
I will be in Honolulu / Waikiki for a few days too, if i go straight from the airport.....could i make a 10am dive? how far is the airport from Waikiki travel wise, i found one place doing a 1pm shallow dive? And of course is it worth diving south shore? I love my wrecks, and i love my little things (and caves etc but dont think any on the south side??). Not so fussed about white tips,turtles etc.
Im dropping an email to Ocean Legends out of Honolulu they seem to offer very cheap shore dives ($65 for 2 tank compared to others at $100+) as well as lava tube dives and tech friendly.
After that diving and a day at Pearl Harbor ill be heading to the Big Island for the Manta ray night dive and black water dives. My operator will depend on days as i can only find two of them and they do the Manta/black on different days but want to give myself the chance to do it twice in case it is bad weather or i really like it. So maybe up to a week there with some volcano viewing etc thrown in. Any other must see dive sites around Kona? and/or tech friendly outfits, i found an old thread from 2008 on here and cant find much on google.
Thanks in advance!
