[-]Hi [/-] Aloha All-
I'm a Hawaii newbie (first visit last March), but with a kid at UH I'll be heading over a few times a year. I'm a Caribbean junkie, so I understand the weather and tourist seasons there, but no idea about Hawaii.
What's summer like? I've read temps are stable year-round so I'm thinking it's not really 'low season'?
How busy are the dive ops in summer? Are early reservations a necessity? I've heard the north shore opens up for diving in summer, is it worth the drive to get up there?
I'll be there for a week, but have NO idea what my schedule will be like. My girl wanted me to stay for the week, but I'm pretty sure after an expensive trip to Target and humping a frig up 5 flights, she'll be pushing me out the door to hang with her new friends LOL
What do you think my chances are of getting on a boat with little to no notice? It's just me, but if it's high season I might not even bring my gear.... I know it's paradise, but I'm really hoping to get in the water instead of sitting alone on the beach! (no one will see my tears underwater, sniff) :depressed:
Thanks for your opinions!
