Comments	This was the first time I have dived in Hawaii in nearly 20 years. On this trip most of any diving I did was on the Kona Coast. It did not disappoint. The staff and the boat they used were both terrific. I used the private guide option which is an additional fee. It is worth it if you like your freedom and don't like diving with or following a group. This is especially true if you are a photographer.

UW Photo Comments	They have a large rinse barrel for cameras. On normal 1/2 day trips which are run daily, they would be hard pressed to accommodate more than several divers with large SLR rigs. In my case I had a mirrorless rig which worked well. The crew was sensitive in handling the UW photo equipment. Please see my comment above in the use of the private dive guide option.
