Electric Beach or North shore this weekend ?

[JBRES1]

My family and I are coming to Oahu this weekend, and I would like to do some shore dives if possible. We will be at the Marriott timeshare just south of Electric beach.
Are any Scubaboarders going to be at either Electric beach or the north shore that I could hook up with this Sunday July6 th.

I am also looking for a dive boat that runs out of the west side of the island for some boat dives. My daughter will be diving with me, and she isn't a big fan of long boat rides. So any ideas on some close in dive sites, lets say no more than 1 or 2 miles of shore. This past summer we dove off of the South Carolina coast, and needed to go 20 miles out to the dive sites . The 20 miles out in 4 to 6 ft waves was not a good time. Both she and I were kinda looking green at the end of that day.

Thanks in advance, Jim Breslin

Well, most of the boat dives are only a few hundred yards off shore. If you go one or two miles out your going to be waaaayyyyy deep.

Ocean Concepts runs a boat out of Waianae Harbor, as does another company (can't remember the other one, bigger cattle type boat) and there are several awesome dives on the west coast. Hopefully the north shore dives clear up by this weekend, I was at sharks cove today and the vis was not the greatest (20-25ft extremely silty) and very choppy.
