Hi all, my wife and I are planning a trip to the Big Island in mid/early November (one week), and trying to find the right fit for diving, given our level and interests. We've done lots of reading, but I'm not sure whether that helped us make decisions, or just left us with more questions!
We've both gotten our OWD certification over the summer (and more recently gotten our Dry Suit certification). By the time we head for Hawaii, we'll probably have about 12–15 dives each (with 5 or 6 in dry suits).
At the moment we're planning on staying at a hotel in Kailua-Kona (probably at the Royal Kona Resort), and definitely going to do the Manta Night Dive (probably with either Jack's Diving Locker or Kona Diving Company). We're also hoping to get some hiking in, so we figure we'll aim for another two days (maybe three) of diving.
So we're wondering what other dives we should do. I'm not sure Pelagic Magic is our thing, but we're definitely up for adventure and open to suggestions! Note that we're planning to avoid renting a car, and would be happy with either boat dives or shore dives.
