When another dive club I belong to had their annual picnic a few weeks ago, there was mention that if the attendees numbered over a certain amount of people, we would need a permit. I think the number they were tossing around was 30 - but don't hold me to that, as I was just reading the organizational emails going back and forth and wasn't part of that conversation.
I suppose a quick call to parks & recreation might provide the answer.

It looks to me that we should be ok if the number stays below 50 and it's not a commercial or exhibition or competitive event. See Sec3:1-2 on http://www.co.honolulu.hi.us/parks/rules/picnic.htm
The Trench is ok with me for a dive but on Labor Day, Alii Beach is going to be packed to da max by bigger tribes...

Really, the only place I can think of is Shark's Cove. Most of the dive shops would've quit running classes there by mid-August and it's not known as a picnic spot by the unwashed masses. Can't think of anyplace along the Waianae coast; well at least, not anyplace with restrooms, showers, someplace for non-divers to splash around, and no Labor Day hordes. Same for the east side. Well, back to Waianae, Kahe and Electric Beach are possible; the cars should be safe enough if we're not all in the water at once. There's a little park past Tracks and before Nanakuli/Zablan Beach, but the diving's not that great and the entry/exit is a climb to a rocky "beach" (and I use the term loosely).

Assuming everything stays as it is I'll have to leave early Tuesday Morning at the latest... (I start work at 9am)
Aloha, Tim

You know, I kind of forgot about the whole holiday crowd thing. bluemagoo's right - it will be crazy crowded up there.
Went diving at Shark's Cove on 7/04 - drove past Three Tables at 7:15 am and the parking was almost completely full. Shark's Cove parking was empty, but by the time we returned from our first dive (sometime between 8:45 and 9) the lot was completely full as well as the parking on alongside the road.

anywhere we go is gonna be crazy crowded. we need to be there early... like 8 am early. is it still at the trench/alii beach park? cant see grilling/picnic-ing being that great at sharks cove. there is space at E-beach, but the area isnt as nice
at alii park there is plenty of parking on the road if we all get there at a reasonable time, it's not a long trek with gear either, half the time we end up gearing up on the raod and walking down to the beach.
