Wife and I are headed to Hawaii next year in June. I know it is way early, but I am curious about some things. We are going to dedicate one day to diving. I have decided on Kona and Jack's Dive Locker. My questions are as follows:
1. Water temp? - I normally dive the northern Gulf of Mexico and Cozumel. So I am usually in 80+ degree water. What is the water temp in Kona during June?
2. Suit or no-suit? - Normally I dive with just shorts and a LavaCore Shirt...wife is good with a shorty. DO we need full suits? Rash Guards? Any reason why my regular dive attire is a bad idea in this environment?
3. Boat Dive or Advanced Dive? - Looks like Jack's offers a couple options. I am a Master Diver and would likely get bored on a beginner dive. Wife is not as experienced as I, but handles herself well in the water. Should I opt for the Advanced Dive ( seems like you see cooler stuff) or is it not much different than a basic dive.
Any other advice to make the day enjoyable is appreciated.
