Hi everyone,
We are going to Hawaii this year (instead of Bonaire) in mid February for 11 days and I'm looking for recommendations on where to dive, which dive operation to use and if there are shore dives that you do not need a guide for. We will be on both sides; Hilo for 5 nights, Kona for 6.
We are spoiled in Bonaire- just drive to shore marker, don the gear and walk right in, decent and enjoy! It would be nice to find a similar experience because I get motion sick easily.
Also, since this is our first time to HI, we will be snorkeling with our non dive family member, so I'm considering just renting the regulators and BCDs. How's the equipment renting there- worth to bring your own for a few dives or good enough to just rent?
Again, any suggestions or recommendations would be greatly appreciated!
best,
Lori
