Get yourself a mask and fins and get underwater. From what I hear the best snorkeling is at Pu'uhonua o Honaunau (great topside stuff too!) and Kealakekua bay. Do it. If you dive, I suggest Jack's Diving Locker. In fact, if you snorkel, call them anyway and see if you can get on their manta ray trip at night. It's AMAZING. The Missus and I are going in October. I've seen a couple of operations that do the Manta dive. Do you recommend Jack's based on experience, or word of mouth? Just curious, since I'm trying to figure out who to book with. Any additional info on the Manta Dive? I've heard they do best at a new moon. When did you go? What time of year? What was the water temperature? Just kidding on that last one. Seriously, though, any info would be helpful. Thanks.
