Amen to your feelings on Mike Severns! Pauline, Warren, Andy, Poki, AJ ... a one of a kind operation that set the bar for so many years. The passion that they had was awesome. Knowledge like that takes years if not decades and that make's it inherently hard to find. We'd been diving with...
I guess it's better to more feedback than not enough, huh? It is very reasonable to come from the east side of the island to dive out of the Poipu/Koloa area. I had divers come to dive with us several times this week from the east side. Though it's a much bigger travel in the am - we have...
Really no "right" answer to this one. September is a fairly consistent weather month I feel for diving on the leeward coasts. Speaking for Kauai where I live, it's a great time to cross to Niihau though I'd suggest the first couple weeks of Sept.
Aloha from Kauai! Feel free to reach out when...
YES ! Please support Maui. Through early confusion I think some wrong messages were conveyed. There are super professional operations there to go along with incredible diving. If swell cooperates the shore diving there is also not to be missed. Makena Landing is one of our favorite dives in...
I'll make it short and sweet as you are getting so much info from the fantastic members of this for....
"YES"
Many people dive multiple days from the east side of the island and even the north shore. Most traffic is flowing into Lihue in the am and you shouldn't have an issue as long as you...
Aloha Ashley,
I just randomly came across this post and wondered if you got any reply / info? I've been diving in Hawaii for 24 years and can certainly help you out if you still need information. You could also post in the Hawaii forum which would get you lots of info. Send me a PM if you...
Aloha!
Came up for air long enough to see this thread! November has traditionally had some pretty awesome diving conditions on the south side without question. While opportunities to dive north, east and west shore could come up - I simply wouldn't bank on them. The southern exposures will...
Aloha. While I'm sure some Kona professionals are the best to answer this IMHO you'd be best to do this dive from the boat. There are a number of companies that can happily take you on an amazing dive at that spot. The issue IMHO again is that you are (depending on where exactly you go) going...
Aloha Rick, I have been a dive pro here in Hawaii for just over 24 years (or I'd like to think somewhere in that 24 year period I became one? Ha Ha). I've worked with several operations here over the years but currently I am working in Poipu with Seasport Divers. If I can ever help you out...
Aloha! Super exciting to be hitting the islands for diving. Niihau season is off and running here and it looks like it will be yet another incredible year. You'll find that all the operators here get wonderful reviews. The trips are very similar from shop to shop. As far as the "advanced...
Aloha! AND ... excited for your visit and a chance to help if I can. I can help you with super specific in personal messages that may not apply to all - but for now I'll do what I can. I've been diving in the Hawaiian islands for over 20 years and have experience on Big Isle, Maui and Kauai...
I believe that they are certainly open at this point. They do run a limited schedule and are in high demand for sure - so don't give up. The staff is simply the best of the best and if you can get out with them you'll be glad you did. The captain is often answering the phone while on the am...
Aloha and congrats on your upcoming trip!
You can't really go wrong either way in my opinion with Lahaina or Kihei. It's also not that big of a deal to drive from one to the other. For many years I've been vacationing from Kauai to Maui and have stayed in one of these locations and driven to...
That's the tricky part (or has been in past). There aren't any dive shops on the north shore and the last shop on the east side is now closed. You'd have to rent from Poipu on the south shore unless you can get someone to meet you up there with rental tanks. I'm not sure which companies will...
It's that time of year and I usually drop a post offering to help divers coming to Kauai as it pertains to Niihau. It's truly some of the very best diving in the islands and if you are an advanced diver in my humble opinion it is a must see. Niihau is an advanced 3 tank trip that includes...
