toledolurch Posted October 27, 2006 #1 Share Posted October 27, 2006 Hi! We are taking a Hawaii cruise in a couple weeks on a NCLA ship. If we were only going to dive once this week, where/what should it be? Thanks! Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce-r Posted October 27, 2006 #2 Share Posted October 27, 2006 The Big Island, Kona side. Visit the Volcano on the Hilo side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Middleager Posted October 30, 2006 #4 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I would also suggest the Kona coast. The coral growth is better than Oahu. Lots of fish. Better chance to see spinner dolphins. I did two dives and saw big turtles, and also saw two large eagle rays. It felt really good swimming besides/behind an eagle ray. The way it moves looks so graceful.

wa.mama Posted October 31, 2006 #5 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Agree with Bruce - Kona side, Big Island. If possible, consider a night manta dive. These guys are awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toledolurch Posted November 1, 2006 Author #7 Share Posted November 1, 2006 The Manta Dive would be awesome, but we are not going to be on the big island overnight, our overnights are on Maui and Kaui. Thank you for everyone's suggestions so far. mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hilary Posted November 1, 2006 #8 Share Posted November 1, 2006 If you can't do the Manta dive, then I'd catch a boat out of Kihei and dive the backwall of Molokini (Ed Robinson's is who we use). Equally strong choice IMO would be to catch a boat out of Lahaina (either Lahaina Divers or Extended Horizons) and dive Lanai. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
