Randy is great, especially the part of the briefing where "despite what my wife say's, an aluminum tank is harder than my head"

Was DM#1 a "heavy set" guy? I wont name names in this case, but I am curious.

The problem with Cameron was he swam very fast without giving a look to the divers falling behind. He went through some very buoyancy challenging swim throughs and never asked anyone about their air. It was a very shallow dive, so I think a less experienced diver might have gotten nervous.

DM #2 Cameron is definitly a character. Whether you agree or not with his method of leading a dive, he WILL find the cool stuff. I don't think too many people have more dives than Cameron on the west side. He is about as local a guide as you will find.
Glad your trip was an overall success, sounds like you saw some great stuff and had a chance to dive a variety of sites!
Thanks for sharing, I think more people should! It keeps us true to our profession!
BTW there is alot more competition between the south side (Honolulu) shops than on the west side.
