HI BSOD, Thank you very much for your post. If you don't mind I have a bunch of questions. Where did you stay when you were there? How many days of whale watching/swimming did you do? Any recommendations would be great. This is a once in a lifetime trip for me since it is going to be a lot...

1erCRU, Thanks for the information. I heard the Vava'u group is great for the whale watching, but I heard that it can be very croweded during this time of year due to the whales. Can you recommend where to stay? I would love to dive, but my main goal is to see the whales. If I do dive it...

hi farsidefan1, That is also on my list of things to do. As many times I have been diving, I have not had the pleasure of swimming with a whale shark. If I end up going I will sure write.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Sorry computer died two days ago. I looked into DR, but it looks like only livaboards-am I correct? I was looking into Tonga just because it looks like there is a better chance. I was looking into the Vavau islands, but was just warned that there are a few...

HI, I am looking to live out a dream and head to Tonga to possibly swim with the Humpbacks. Unfortunately, I am on a limited budget so I will not be able to do a live a board. The airfare alone from the eastcoast of the US is a killer!! I have been doing some research but I am so undecided...

This is a little late, but trying to catch up. Been back for two weeks and have to say I so miss Hawaii. Anyway, didn't do as much diving as planned but still did some. On the big Island dove with Big Island Divers and had a blast, especially on the night manta dive. It was amazing. To be...

Unfortunately, we couldn't get any of the grandparents to come, So I told my wife no diving for her. just kidding. We will take turns. Thanks for the dive site advice. Since I have never been there, I am a little nervous on what to expect. Thanks again.

With whom did you do the manta dives with? I am so excited to do it!

I agree 100%. We are mainly staying there for my 4yr old. She hates the ocean and loves pools. Don't ask!! Thanks for all the info.

Thank all of you for the information!!!

cburdick1, When you do shore dives on Maui, where do your rent tanks? I will be visiting the big island and Maui in April for our first trip to Hawaii and I would love to do a few shore dives. Thanks,

Thanks Cuddlefish. No we don't have a sitter. Most likely my wife will stay at the resort while I am diving, which is the reason I probably will not do as many dives. As far as shore diving is concerned, can you just rent tanks and go out, or do you need a guide? Thanks

Hi, My wife, 4 yr old daughter, and myself are heading to the Big Island and Maui for 7 days each in April. This will be our first trip to Hawaii and I need advice. I am not sure who to use as a dive shop in either location. We will probably be staying in or near the Hilton Waikoloa for some...

These are the things that really bother me as a result of this!!! "ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) - Authorities used baited hooks to catch sharks Wednesday near a Mexican beach where a U.S. surfer was killed in an attack. The 24-year-old Adrian Ruiz of San Francisco bled to death after being...
