Since you dive, on Oaho, we dove with the dive master for the Kahala Mandarin Hotel (pretty high end, we were guests of William Morris Agency) Small dive boats 4-5 people, the guy let me use his scooter, he'd charge the battery up just for me, man you've got to dive with a scooter, it's awesome! Any way, we did a WWII plane wreck at 100', a cave where we had an encounter with a large octopus, and free dove a tank at 80'. Fun! At the other end of the island (away from Diamond Head) There is extensive lava flow caves to explore and we dove a huge Mine Sweeper wreck, home to spotted eagle rays, sharks, eels, and numerous fish species. I think every island has unique dive sites so live it up. The only thing you're missing is the Humpback Whale migration (around Jan-late Feb.) when you can hear them singing under water! A moving experience for any diver!

We should plan a TC dive trip to Catalina, I know there are several TC divers-Al/Shelley, Laney/Cory, and you, at least-I think there are more? That would be fun, I like CA diving. Have a great trip!
