I did it last October-wonderful diving. Monk seals, sharks, amazing topography. Long day but very worth it.

You will save a lot of money by staying in a condo rather than at a resort. Check out VRBO.com for good last minute deals.

early Buffett or Marley?

I love the diving on Maui. The boat diving is great but there is also plenty of shore dive opportunities

The big island is my favorite. How long are you going to be there?

I use Jack's when in Kona. Last time we were there the crew was great one day but horrible the next. I let the shop know and they comped some tanks for shore diving as an apology-I would give them another chance.

If you do stay at the Hilton be sure and get off the grounds to see the rest of the island. The Hilton is very beautiful-but in a not real Hawaii-Disneyland way. Makes me sad to think people come to Hawaii and never see the real thing.

No guide required, but if you want one on Maui-go out with ShakaDoug. You might want to consider looking for a condo (VRBO.com is a great resource). You get a lot more bang for your buck than staying in a resort. Don't miss the manta ray night dive on the Big Island.

I am coming from the mainland. Is that good enough?

I am going to Maui for a conference Feb 16-24th and hoping to fit in a few shore dives. I am staying at the Westin so maybe we can work something out.

45-my reward to myself for losing #100! Best thing I have ever done.

If I ever get up to your neck of the woods I would love to dive with you. I mostly lurk on the board but your posts have always inspired me.

I second Fantasy Island on Roatan, easy diving, inexpensive, all inclusive. Just take a container of deep woods off for the sand fleas.

You can't go wrong with Hawaii.

5 Star Divers out of El Paso is going to be doing an open water class at Balmorhea that weekend. If your friend can get the book and pool sessions done we can do referral dives that weekend and you would of course be welcome to tag along and dive. There is a dive shop there but it is not...

Sounds like he did both.

If you only have one week and you are going to spend most of the time diving go to Maui. The big island deserves at least 2 weeks. I like diving with Ed Robinsons on Maui. They also have a cottage you can stay in-of the beaten path but the price is right.

It is a matter of priorities. I travel a lot (Roatan, St Croix and Kauai this year, also Switzerland but that wasn't diving) however I don't have cable, I rarely eat in restaurants. I don't buy many "things". My coworkers are probably tired of seeing me in the same clothes and I drive my cars to...

What dates are you going to be there? I am going for my first trip to Kauai from the 8th to the 21st. I have a few boat dives booked but would love to do a few shore dives also.

When is "soon"? I am going to be in Kauai from Sept 8-21st and would love to have someone to shore dive with.
