I searched this topic on the board and many of them were multiple dives for several days. That's why I decided to create a new topic, which might be suitable for me.

I plan to do a two-tank Manta Ray combo dive. The dive company in Kona area informed me with the following information:
1. First dive will be approximately 60-70 feet and will be down for approximately 40 minutes.
2. Surface interval time will be 1 hours and 30 minutes.
3. Manta Ray dive will be approximately 35 feet and will last approximately 45 minutes.
All dives will be treated as no decompression dives.
Volcano area is 3,700 feet in altitude.
I look into the map and it will take approximately 2 (two) hours to drive from Kona to the Volcano area. I have never been in the area before. So, I did some researches regarding the elevation. It will gradually climb up to Captain Cook, 1,250 feet and drop to Honaunau-Napoopoo at 850 feet. It will climb up to 1,600 feet at Ocean View and drop again below 1,000 feet at Pahala before starting to climb up toward the last 30 minutes to the Volcano area.
Have anyone had experiences in driving back this direction or they should be staying in Kona area? The issue is that, several reasonable lodgings in Kona required a multiple nights stay.
Thanks for your time and response.
