Wife and I heading in September have never dived there. Not a “dive trip” but a family trip so looking for likely 1 boat dive day and a couple shore dives. I am 1k plus DM cert she is about 800 basic OW but not AOW. We’ve done coz a lot, Galapagos, Palau and Fiji, but I think the thrill seeking days are probably behind us and we both prefer meandering underwater strolls these days
We will be 3 nights in Haena and 7 in Poipu
I’m not sure my wife is up for the boat ride from Niihau but some of the ops say AOW required. Is this enforced? Seems also a shoulder season for weather. If it were just me I might give it a go but being married long enough….
Tunnels - seems to be the only shore dive option north? Anywhere to rent a tank and weights or just do guided? Is it generally diveable in September?
South shore - is Koloa the only real shore dive? Seems to be a spot can do easily without a guide.
Any other shore dive locations to consider?
We got certified in Maui in 92, went back a few times most recently in 2021. Spent more on two boat dive days than the airfare and the diving was meh. Spent $20 for a tank and weights and did a shore dive at Mala and it was the best Maui dive we’d had in a long time.
