Aloha! Just following up with what diversteve said... 81.5 seems a little high and I would plan on the temperature being closer to 79 degrees. Sheraton is a good dive but tends to be the most over-dove/over-rated spot on Kauai. There are many dive destinations that are far better. The South...

ZenDiver.3D has it right. While it can be done in "as little as 3 days", it is not wise to rush through your training. I think that this is absolutely one reason we are seeing less and less diver retention these days. Take your time...its worth it!

Koloa Landing is definitely the spot you will want to go. Recommend taking a guided tour to get the lay of the land as well as pointers on what to look for and where to find it. After taking a tour there, you should be fine for renting and D-I-Y!

I must agree with Anthony...Ni'ihau is one of those dives that if I could do it everyday, I would. There is no other dive in Kauai or Hawaii quite like it. Here are a couple of pictures that Doug from Aquatic Adventures took - We didn't get to see one of those Tinkers, but we still had...

Ni'ihau dive 5/26/2010

rich...I am working on making it available to Westin guests, but as of now, it is a St Regis exclusive. Not to say that you couldn't get there or that you would be denied access, but it is a MAJOR haul to get your gear there if you do not have direct access (provided to certain companies by the...

You are correct in that Kauai does not have "pretty" coral. We have a lot of hard (or slow-growth) corals that tend to come in earth-tone shades. They are pretty, but it is a matter of appreciation for something different. Kauai does have "big" aquatic life, but it is found at Ni'ihau and...

Saw your post and thought I would say hello. My name is Shawn and I own and operate Aqautic Adventures here on Kauai. We do shore and boat diving. There are several good companies to choose from here on the island. Seasports and Fathom Five are the most well known, but Bubbles Below is one...

Aloha and welcome to SB :D

Aloha and Welcome to SB! Cold Water diving is cool (literally), but you should try some warm water diving ;)

Aloha and welcome to SB... Maybe next time you come to Hawaii, you can come dive on Kauai! :D

Aloha... A back inflate is typically superior to a jacket-style bc in many ways. 1. it is more streamlined 2. it is more comfortable 3. it typically has more lift 4. when you utilize this lift, it does not compress you as it inflates 5. more versatile and more practical applications...

Congrats! Always good to see new divers and hear positive experiences! Welcome to SB...it can be a great tool for you if you put it to use. Aloha ;)

You are always welcome to tag on any of our certified dives...just let me know when you want to go. ;)

Seasports, Fathom Five, Kauai Down Under and Aquatic Adventures can all provide you with air. All are located within 3 miles of each other and all are either PADI or NAUI resorts. As far as diving, Koloa is one of the choices that you have. Another choice (shallow dive 25ft) is Prince...

In order to be a PADI Resort, you must have a store front and meet certain standards. However, being a PADI Resort is still no guarantee that you will have a good experience. I agree with Japan-Diver that word of mouth is the best way to judge what kind of "Resort" you are dealing with.

Which Island?

Aloha and welcome to SB! I will keep this short, as just the "thought" of Alaska makes me cold...BRRRRRRRR.:D
