My wife and I will be on the Big Island next month. We are planning a mix of shore and boat diving. We have used our wetsuit fins/booties for most shore diving trips (Bonaire, Maui) in the past. They are relatively thick soled with good grip, but don't do much for sharp rocks.
Our alternative is the chuck taylors we use for drysuit diving (and an entirely different set of fins).
I understand there can be some long walks over lava rocks around Kona. Are they doable in booties or should we bring the drysuit fins/boots?
And of course any pointers to great shore sites would be welcome!
