First post. Hello everyone. I've long been a saltwater enthusiast, and I only stopped reefkeeping when I began to understand the damage caused by the industry. For years I've dreamed of moving to a place where I can enjoy the beauty of ocean life without harming it.
That dream has finally come true with a job offer on Oahu. It's not the surf I'm after or the beach. I don't want hammocks or hiking. I'm not for deep sea fishing. I hope to spend my free time down where it's wetter, down where it's better, under the sea. Haha.
Anyway, I'm going to be working in Honolulu, between Sand Island and the airport. Up to a 1 hr commute doesn't bother me. My rent budget goes up to about $3,500. And I will be needing a 3 bedroom. I've looked at Zillow till I'm blue in the face. And I've basically decided that it's all beginning to look the same.
Aside from a cute little cabin on Mt Tantalus and a Townhome right on the canal in East Oahu (Hawaii Kai), nothing looks much different than the others. So I began to wonder if there is a better spot to live for diving.
What I mean by that, I don't really know. Since I know virtually nothing about the hobby, I don't know what the life of a diver is like. I suppose some day I'd like to take my own boat out and dive at my leisure. But I don't even know if that's realistic.
Well, any direction would be helpful. Thanks for taking the time to read and for any responses!
