Ross-- Thanks a lot for the extremely detailed and helpful information. The site you recommended on shore diving is really good, but your personal input is much more useful, especially as regards Manuka Bay and Pauko. I was also interested in your commentary on Capt. Cook because we've snorkelled there several times and I've always wondered what the diving would be like. I'm hoping to do the manta ray night dive again out by the airport. Did it last time we were there, but the rays never showed up. Still, a fun night dive and made all the more entertaining by a moray that swam up and rested on the leg of one diver while he was doing the sand kneel. The look on the poor guy's face was priceless. Anywho, we are going to be in Kona 4/8-4/15, so it sounds like we may pass in the airport. Just look for the overburdened but hopefully cheerful and relaxed dive/luggage sherpa.

Thanks again, and regards,

Terry
