Aloha...

How about the weather and diving?

Thanks...

You don't want to ask about how the weather's been "lately"... yesterday was about as bad as it gets... thunderstorms a plenty in the afternoon and we had a genuine flash flood take out a good portion of the yard where I live. Odds are the weather will be fine tomorrow, and thunderstorms are considered to be very rare in Kona. We've been reading about 79 on our suunto gages, so figure 76-79 depening on what your computer reads. Diving turned crappy yesterday, but that generally is only for a day at a time here.

Have fun,

I know thunderstorms are very rare in Kona : they only happen when I arrive.
We were there in Oct. 2 years ago and got caught in full on flash floods. we were told the same thing then.
The diving was still great.
Thanks for the info....
You may be hearing from us for some diving. You have been a big help with all of my questions lately.....
