Hawai'i O'HanaCome dive the exotic Island waters of our 50th state. Kaua'i: The Garden Isle;
O'ahu: The Gathering Place;
Mau'i: The Valley Isle (Mau'i, Moloka'i, Lana'i, Kaho'olawe & Molokini);
Hawai'i: The Big Island.
I am of course so there. I can dive either rec or deeper exploration, am also glad to be a surface support as this definitely sounds like a site that makes that prudent. Let's git'er done.
One of the nicest dives on the island, bar none. The deep ledge on the outside is spectacular, too - it stairsteps from 80-90' at the top down to 200' with tons of black coral all the way down.
It's difficult to dive here for several reasons - the location makes it exposed to just about all of Oahu's bad sea conditions. Usually the trade swell makes it undiveable, and it sticks out far enough to pick up a mean north wrap in the winter and spring. On a bad day, the currents are horrendous, which isn't really a problem if you're diving the caves on the inside of the island but can be deadly if you're on the outside ledge. There are usually only a handful of days a year when you can go.
Dunno if any of the dive charters will take you there (probably not since none launch out of Kaneohe). Make sure you are diving with somebody who's very familiar with the local weather and tides and how they affect the site - the ocean will kick your butt if you're not prepared.
