Oahu (Hawaii) diving, which are best dive sites and dive shops?

[XSScubaKitty]

Hi,

Can anyone recommend the best dive sites and dive shops to do with around Oahu Island, Hawaii? I'll be there next week, Tuesday February 7th-14th.

I am experienced diver from Sydney, Australia. I have done over 460 dives in difficult conditions - cold, drift, deep, night and wreck.

I am interested in seeing lots of reef fish, pelagics is a bonus, love nudibranchs and critters, too.

Thanks,
Scuba Kitty

Pacific Paradise Divers, Dive Oahu, AAA diving are some of my favorites. There are some nice boats elsewhere but things get too rushed. For sites, I recommend
Y0257, Sea Cave drifts are my top two. You can look at my photography site and go to "wreck photog" and see the sites (and the sights!). ....Oh and do not forget to do the Corsair, a WWII bomber at 117 ft. Very photogenic, for a rusty plane! Go to Hawaii Ohana (under North America) and you can see other's sites, dive reports, etc. Call me and maybe I will be able to dive when you are here!!...Oh sorry, I will be in Kona but call Pearl or Chris at PPD. they will take good care of you.
