I am in the preliminary stages of planning a Kauai trip for May of next year. It's not a dive trip, but rather, a trip where we will probably dive two or three days. I've read lots of good stuff on dive ops here on the board, I've also read much about the dives offered, both here and at other sites. I think I understand what I'll be seeing in Kauai but I still have a couple of questions/concerns. I've dived all over the Caribbean and in Galapagos just for reference.
I'm still wondering a couple of things:
1) Is the trip to N'ihau worth it? Some have described it as fantastic, others as simply you see a seal and maybe a couple of sharks but not worth the long haul and price. Are the structure and topography that amazing or are the people dismissing the amount of life you can potentially see just downplaying it? It seems most of the positive I've seen is on this board and I've seen more negative in other places.
2) Has anyone done dives along Napali, what did you think? I don't think I've read much about these dives, I could have missed it though. It appears the Bubbles Below is the only Kauai operator doing this trip (again, maybe I've missed something in my research).
Thanks in advance for any help.
