Big Island of Hawai'i
| After working in Moloka'i, HI for a week, I tacked on a few personal days and flew to Kona to dive on the Big Island of Hawai'i for the weekend. I let Julie Cunningham, owner of Kona Coast Divers, set up everything for me. The studio accommodations at a nearby condo complex were great, and the diving was terrific. The only disappointment was that we didn't see any manta rays on our night dive (I know...the ocean is NOT a zoo!). The crew of Kona Coast Divers was wonderful. We had an "incident" with the boat while returning from one of our dives, but the crew handled the situation very skillfully (kudos to James) and professionally. I wouldn't hesitate to dive with them again. | |
