It's not enough to say this, a diver needs a plan. This is a big bay offering multiple options where to go there, and if newcomers just jump into the water chances are high they'll waste their air wandering around aimlessly and come back disappointed. Or, God forbid, they decide to go there on a weekend afternoon only to find out the place is packed like a can of sardines. Yes, 2-Step is great but only if you know how to dive it and when to dive it.
Get there by 8am and snorkel the reef to get the layout. Go get your rig on by 9 and head straight west out over the drop off. Follow the reef south and down to ~105fsw and enjoy the corals above and sand below you. Turn back north and do your stop at the aloha... that's what I did and worked out pretty good, at least I think those are the general directions. Either way out, left, turn around, right.
True. Although the same can be said of every single dive location I would recommend...
Wait...most people come with 2 tanks, so for your 2nd dive you'll dive the same plan?
This is just one of the options and I almost never use this route.
2nd dive I went right instead of left looking fit a tiger that had been seen the day before. Dolphins can be seen further out away from the reef I've been told. When we go back I'll likely go back to 2 step. Very easy and relaxed dive site once you get off the step lolWait...most people come with 2 tanks, so for your 2nd dive you'll dive the same plan?
