I tried to PM you but i do not think you are set up to receive yet. Another question i usually stay at the resorts north of Kona. This time i am staying in Kona.
Which hotel do you suggest King Kamala's or Seaside?
Thanks for the info,
Scott

Dan,Just got back from Kona where I got one day of diving in (that was 25+ hours on 23 dives over the span of 8 days). Manta rays, spotted and spinner dolphins, pilot whales were all great. I'm a big fan of DiveTek Adventures (Keith, Chuck, and Colin do an awesome job)--they're head and shoulders above anyone else I've ever been out with.
Besides the Mantas what were 6 or more of you favorite dive spots?

This is on Oahu. The Convention Center isn't the same as the Blaisdale, but both are here. My house is open to anyone who wants to come out for this and save on the hotel bill.Here is the website...www.hiexpos.com
If its at the Convention Center, probably Oahu.
With enough notice, I would definitely consider this trip!! What island is it?There is a new dive show going to be in Hawaii next year early Feb which I think would be really cool to participate in AND plan a dive trip around. Any interest in doing an SD trip there? The show will be Feb 4 & 5th 2006 at the Hawaii Convention Center! www.hiexpos.com
It is the first one and I think it would be great to participate AND dive!
Kamala, is it the Blaisdale??
Right now that is all I know.
And for those who may find the water too cold out for diving at that time, Feb is also whale watching season.

Hi Richard,Hey there travelnsj , For the dive sites I'll start with Kona . You have the Turtle cleaning station just out of the small boat harbour . The 3 room cave south of kona . Now for Kawaihee . the Kohala coast . You have Mahukona state park . You can do a shore dive there . You have the Sunken Pier . That's just out of the small boat habour in Kawaihee . Another shore dive max depth 10 to 30 feet . The dead end of puako . Another shore dive lots of caves there . For boat dives in Kawaihee you have Frog Rock , KK caves, Frash water cave , horseshoe cave, ulua cave , As you can tell lots of caves . If you do go with a dive shop on the Kawaihee side . Use Kohala Divers LTD . Please do not use mana kea divers .
Thanks for the info.
I have been to the turtle cleaning station 3 times.....Never saw a turtle LOL. But i will look at a couple of your other suggestions.
Did you see my other note about staying at King Kamala's or seaside? Which do you perfer?
Thanks, Scott
