Planning our next trip and would like some advice. Probably an open ended question but really looking for an idea of where to start researching. Since we are flying from east coast US, figure it's better to spend 2 weeks in Hawaii. So the question is which 2 or 3 islands are best for us, and what time of year? (I know to avoid the Christmas/New year holidays). Spring or fall is best for us to travel.
Some background:
Dive background: PADI OW+Nitrox certified about 70 logged dives, 55 of which over 3 visits to Bonaire (Buddy Dive), 15 in Roatan, Honduras (CocoView). Love to take video and photos, go slow and shallow (not over 60') Mostly boat diving though some shore diving.
We have been to the Big Island and Maui about 10 years ago, back before we were divers. Snorkelled both trips and loved it. We have since been certified and want to go back to Hawaii and dive there.
It doesn't seem like there are many (any?) "dive resorts" like Buddy's or Cocoview and it's more like "roll your own package" .. that's fine... just want to know where to start researching..... Or is there someone who puts packages together (i.e. 4 days on this island with this op, 4 days on this island with that op...) ?
Thanks!
