Big Island and Maui (each of which we have 5 days at) Other than a day
for volcano park, he will want to dive. Need recommendations as to what
dive operators to use and possibly which dive trips are good for him (he
is intermediate diver-has advanced certification, but only dives 1-2
times a year for the last 5 yrs.) We are staying at Hilton Waikoloa
village on the big island and at Hyatt Regency in Maui.
thanks

side of Molokini Crater which is a wall dive. Diving inside of the crater is a
little over crowded. There are some good dives of some WWII tanks which can be
done. But these dives are usually from the Kihei area.
From the Lahaina Area there are several good dive operations which you can use.
A great place to dive is the island of Lanai (about an hour from Lahaina by
boat) These dives are less crowded than Molokini and there is just as much if
not more to see and do.

Read my post in the newsgroup concerning diving. I do have a friend who will
be retiring from the police department here on Maui early part of next year.
He is planning on doing a lot of diving off of his own boat starting this
spring. He does like to dive Lanai and weather permitting areas of Molokai.
If your husband might be interested please let me know and maybe something can
be arranged.
When John has taken friends all he asks is that his costs be covered. This
would be a great way to do some diving in areas that are not crowded or used by
many of the commercial dive spots.
Unfortunately, I won't be here during the summer months as I plan on being on
the mainland visiting friends. You can email me if interested.

their style and they are very safe and competent. They have taught us to
slow down and look at the little things - they'll show you the critters and
creatures you wouldn't believe! They put together a group to travel to,
say, the Solomon's, once a year, but we've never had the where-with-all to
join them. Say hi to them for us...
On Maui, we have extensive experience with Mike Severns diving - he starts
early, out of Kihei, and dives the Moloikini crater - in good weather, with
good divers, he'll hit the back side, which is superb diving and uncrowded.
Otherwise, he's still able to find excellent diving in the (later crowded)
inside. He is an extraordinary person, a marine biologist (he's written a
beautiful book on the crater) - and his wife is just as knowledgeable and
skilled. He also puts together the occasional trip to an exotic (and
sometimes unchartered) dive location, on which, again, we've never had the
opportunity to accompany him.
Don't forget, you can easily get above 2000' on each island, driving
around. Don't go to volcano's after diving, go before, or wait a day!
