Single Diver Looking for O'ahu Group

[GIJANESGT]

Aloha!
I am a NAUI diver who will be visiting friends in Pearl City, O'ahu from August 18-25. Could anyone recommend a good shore dive or a dive buddy/group for me while I'm there? I am newly-certified and am trying to get some good underwater photography shots of fish and reef animals. Prefer to stay around 40-50 feet or less until I get more comfortable, and would like to partner with an experienced (and patient) dive buddy! I can be reached at: gijanesgt@yahoo.com until August 17.
Mahalo nui loa!

check out this link http://www.shorediving.com/Earth/Hawaii/Oahu/index.htm this time of year the north shore is good for what you are looking for. You could try sharks cove or firehouse and three tables. Lots of good dive operators on island, I am partial to Ocean Concepts, they run a great dive op as well as full service dive center. My buddies and i dive just about every weekend and don't mind bringing someone along, one of the group has been here for 26 years so he knows good spots and we are all experienced and patient divers. drop me a line if you need more info.
