I grew up just 20 minutes from Morehead City. Just as conditions there vary from flat calm to "not do-able"...so do the conditions on the crossing to Ni'ihau. If the captain/dive shop decides to run the trip, it will be considered safe...but that, in no way, means calm. When I went, the ride back was rough but "fun"....8 foot swell coming from the side, topped with wind waves from what seemed liked a couple of directions. One customer on the boat was worried...my husband had hoped for rougher...the rest of us found it very tolerable.

We went with Sea Sport Divers and had a really great day!

Bottom line...this trip is for experienced divers who expect a rough ride home.

Have fun!
