Well I'm back from Kauai, and I must say I had a wonderful time. On March 16th I dove with Fathom Five with Anthony being my DM and Charlie was the boat captain. We dove Sheraton Caverns twice. We did this because visibility at the other locations was pretty poor, but it was neat to see the same dive site in the day and then at night. I have to say that Fathom Five was a first class operation. Although I am new to diving I felt like I was being treated as an equal, not a newbie. As others have said on the board they treat you like a diver! Briefings were very good before the dives with what to look out for and how to handle the dive light, since this was my first night dive. We saw several turtles and more species of fish then I can list.
I also rented gear from the Fathom Five shop for one day. I dove Koloa Landing and Prince Kuhio Beach. Again my experience at the Fathom Five shop was great. Koloa Landing was ok, about 50 viz, again lots of fish, but it was pretty crowded with divers. Our second dive at Prince Kuhio was excellent. We were the only divers and we came across a turtle cleaning station. It was really amazing to see all the fish cleaning the turtles shells. The depth never got to be more then 30 ft at PK, so it was fun to be down for a long time. Also on the way back in I saw a Spotted Eagle Ray!
Anyway, to sum up, Fathom Five was great and so was Anthony, Charlie, and everyone else who worked at the shop. I would highly recommend anyone wanting to dive Kauai to work with them.
Again, thanks to everyone who participated in this thread!
