Hello All,
I have been reading these boards for quite some time, but this is my first post. I will be arriving in Kona, Hawaii in 6 days. I will be there for 9 days, but will only have time for about 3 days of diving. I have already booked a Manta Ray night dive with Kona Honu Divers based on a recommendation from a friend who has used them before. Here is my question: I am staying in Kohala and on one morning I have a Helicopter tour scheduled for 9:00 am. It is only the short 45 min tour of the north and west parts of the island. I am scheduled to do a 1 tank (shallow) afternoon dive at 1:30 pm with the dive op at Mauna Lani. Early the next morning I am driving to Volcano National Park via the northern route to spend the day. Is this feasible with regards to the many changes in altitude. I know there has been much debate regarding flying after diving and diving after flying. I will have about 14-15 hours between the end of my dive and the start of my trek to VNP, which seems to satisfy DAN guidelines. What do you think?
Thanks in advance for all your help!
