Hello all

[jobberone]

I'm Michael and new here and to Hawaii. I moved to Kailua Kona on the Big Island in Sep and getting settled enough to start playing. I'm in the market for a boat but hasn't worked out so far so I'm going to try to kayak dive at least for awhile.

I'm also redoing some dive work and I'm renewing my adv open water with nitrox.

I'd like to meet some like minded people here esp those that kayak dive and spearfish which I've never done.

Welcome to SB! Kayak diving and spearfishing are great ways to enjoy a day on and under the water!

Not sure you understand because real property taxes are the issue not state income tax. I couldn't afford to pay $2000+ per month to my mortgage in the Ft Lauderdale area. My property tax on the Big Island is less than it was in the Panhandle of Texas. Insurance is less as well.
