Ill be on the Kona Aggressor Dec 8. I have some questions for anyone willing to help.
1. Exposure protection. I usually just use a 3MM shorty. I mostly dive Cozumel and the Caribbean, but I dont get cold easily thanks to plenty of ''insulation.'' Should I buy a hood prior, or will I be chilly with that number of dives in your water? I had no such issues with that number of dives per day in Thailand, but I understand that is 6-8 degrees warmer, minimum.
2. Im flying in the night before and will have all day on Saturday to look around. Ill be renting a car. Any ``must see'' places or restaurants? Im considering just driving up the mountain, but im up for anything.
3. What should I be looking for on the reef? Usually I just float along and just love everything, so im not hard to impress. Anything the local divers take pride in seeing or are home just to Kona?
Any other tips or recommendations are welcome.
Thank you in advance.
Aloha!
