I admit. I'm spoiled. I lived in Guam for two years and I'm accustomed to an overfilled tank and about a 65 minute dive, followed by a 60 minute interval and another 50-minute dive. I'm spending a week in Oahu this month and planning to make the most of it in the water. But I'm told that few boats will let you dive your tank. For the price of diving in Hawaii, this has me feeling blue.
I'm staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, may or may not rent a car, CAN bring most of my own equipment, but might not want to lug it from the East Coast, and am AOW and Nitrox certified. It's been 17 months since my last dive. I've logged a little over 100 dives - some drifts, most not, all fairly non-challenging in terms of currents.
What I WANT: long dives, good reefs, good marine life, a safe boat experience, a great dive master, the local diver experience.
What I DON't WANT: short dives, the tourist experience, wreck dives that aren't covered with coral and marine life.
Any recommendations? I'm told IslandDivers and Captain Bruce's are good on time underwater. Looks like Gabe Scotti comes highly recommended here. I'm open to suggestions. Thanks!
