Hawaii, late summer 2011
Hey all 
I just got
back from Hawaii. Eight dives in Oahu (with Aaron's dive shop) and four
dives with Kona Honu dive shop. I love diving Oahu, and those dives were
all great. The summer swell was in full force; so much so that my third
day of diving was cancelled by the shop. In any case, the diving was
great.
Then to Kona, yes it was a great experience. Never before did I go straight to the dive shop from the airport. I got there, set up my gear (including the DPV) and was ready to go out on the boat. It made me feel especially hardcore to go right to the dive shop from the airport... Hotel? That's for later! In any case, it was a good decision. The manta ray night dive was spectacular. Never before have I had such interaction with such large animals of the wild. The gentle giants truly made me think they would knock my mask off. They must have gotten within an inch or so of my mask. Really a rush. One of the top dives of my life.
That makes thirty five dives for me this year, and I'm still going.
It's definitely all good in Kona.
