Hi everyone. I'm heading out to the Big Island shortly and have been watching all the reports of heavy rain this week with trepidation (and sympathy to those getting soaked these past few days). How much of an effect on vis does all this rain have? Here in California, a few days of rain can make many shore diving sites pretty turbid, not to mention the coliform bacteria counts climb uncomfortably high. Does the volcanic shoreline mean less turbidity with rainfall in the Kona area? Any recent dive reports to put forth from those of you out there now? Either way, I'm looking forward to diving in Kona, I just know that humpback is going to cruise in for a few up close glamour shots....
