Aloha!
I just finished my AOW + PPB + EANX certifications and have 20 logged dives, and am going to Big Island and Maui for about 12 days. I’m bringing my own gear: 7mm, BCD, regs, etc. and am meeting another forum member to dive with. I’m posting mostly to share my excitement, but also for any recommendations on what to bring and/or dive site recommendations/discussion.
*Do people bring extra or backup gear on land-based trips like this?
Big Island:
Kona: 3 nights. Reserved 2-tank Manta night dive, and 2-tank Advanced/long range dives. Need some time prior to traveling across the island (altitude).
Hilo: 3 nights - I have friends to see there, haven’t planned any diving yet.
Maui:
Lahaina: 3 nights. Plan on 1-2 days shore diving (sunken pier, maybe site behind Sheraton). I also reserved a 2-tank trip to Lana’i through Extended Horizons.
Kihei: 3 nights. Plan on 2-tank Molokini trip with B&B (at least once, maybe twice) and maybe a day shore diving.
Mahalo!!
