My fiance and I are going to Hawaii for our honeymoon and would like to do some diving. We are both very new to the sport and therefore want to stick to more conservative dives. Does anybody have suggestions for shallower sites with practically no current in Hawaii?? We would love to see as many fish as possible

Thanks in advance!!
If it is Maui you are headed to then inside Molikini crater is quite nice. You will not have any difficulty finding an operator who heads to this area so long as you depart from the Kiehi area. You will probably want to stay away from the back wall of Molikini until you are more comfortable, but inside the crater is really easy.
Ed Robinsons Diving Adventures is arguably the best dive operator on the island, however they tend to cater to more experienced divers. If you give them a call and explain your experience level and interests they could either reccomend another operator or perhaps find a place for you on one of their boats that has divers of similar experience (if they are not booked with more experienced divers already).
Whatever island you are going to, the water is warm and clear... you will have a great time!
On Maui there are a lot of very safe easy dive spots. Ulua beach is very user friendly as in airport beach further north. Instructors use these beaches on a regular basis.
