Scuba Diving In Hawaii

Page 1

Scuba Diving In Hawaii Hawaii is a beautiful place, we have all seen the films and the holiday photos. The above ground scenery is stunning, but what not so many individuals know is that the sub-aqua scenery is just as beautiful. The good thing is that you do not have to know exactly where to go to enjoy diving because the diving is good everywhere on the islands. Not just is the sub-aqua scenery beautiful, but the water is warm too - all year through. You will find millions of fish, aquatic flora, coral and ship wrecks, everything that divers like to look at. There will never be a diver that regrets having taken a diving vacation in Hawaii. Would be divers can best study the hobby in Oahu. There are plenty of diving schools and instructors there that have the power to grant a diving certificate after a day or two's tuition. This is very fast, but the courses are thorough, so you can safely go shallow diving after acquiring your certificate. While shallow water diving, you will see plenty of fish, plants and coral. There are also a number of wrecks at Oahu, so you will be able to investigate these as well, if you have a little more experience. There are some huge ships down there and millions of fish. One of the best places to go scuba diving is Ka'awaloa Cove, which is in western Hawaii. The cove is just accessible by boat, but that is not difficult because there are several small boat companies that offer a ferry service. Kona is another great diving location on the big island. Both of these regions cater for both the novice and the expert. Kona is chock a block with plankton, which might not sound interesting in itself, until you understand that the plankton attracts giant manta rays. The rays are particularly spectacular whilst seen on dives at night. Red Hill and Kona also offer excellent opportunities for diving because there are underwater lava flows. The lava flows are best seen by daylight because that is when the sun reflects off them giving them their name of Red Hills. They are only accessible by boat, but then that is not a problem either. The smaller island of Maui also has fantastic diving locations. Check out Molokini and its underwater volcanic crater. The crater is home for reef sharks, majestic sea turtles, many tropical marine fish and the magnificent giant manta rays again. This is one of the best dive locations on Hawaii and definitely has to be on your short list of must do dives. The best thing about diving in Hawaii is that there is so much to see and do wherever you are situated. OK, the popular attractions are simply that, very popular, but numerous individuals like being with lots of other individuals - after all there is safety in numbers, but Hawaii also has quiet areas which you can discover if you look and the diving will be great there too because the fish are the same and the water is as warm.
