Comments	I chose Ohana East due to previous reports in Undercurrent, and was happy with the choice. From my ocean view room I could actually see the ocean. I was able to make my own meals, which was a great - I get tired of restaurant food. Stocked up on food at a supermaket on day one. Oahu Scuba Divers advertises service with a difference. You choose the sites you'd like to dive, and Lisa and Roger find a charter boat to take you there (they don't have their own boat). You can rent gear from OSD if you need to, I had my own. Tanks filled to 3000PSI. I requested the Corsair wreck, and dived it on the first day. Roger pointed out octopus, a stingray, morays and a type of shell that burrows along the sand bottom. OSD picks you up from your hotel, and takes you and your gear to whichever marina the boat is leaving from. Three of the four days of diving were with the ENZO, great boat and captain. Either Lisa or Roger will divemaster, and you get a detailed site description, wildlife guide and photographer all in one. We also dived the Sea Tiger, Turtle canyon, Kawalo pipe, and Spitting cave, and a few more sites. The current on the YO was screaming, so that dive was redirected to the Sea Tiger again, where we saw a turtle napping inside the wheelhouse. Lots of sharks, endemic Hawaiian fish, and turtles overall. At the end of the morning dive, Lisa and Roger had a very nice picnick lunch prepared complete with tablecloth and napkins. Two days we ate on shore, the other day on the boat between morning and afternoon boat dives. Lots of water, juice and snacks also provided by OSD. At the end of the day, you get dropped off at your hotel again. Lisa and Roger are the nicest folks to dive and chat with. They even had Hawaiin tree and flower guidebooks, and gave helpful hints on where to find topside attractions too. I can't recommend them highly enough. I feel like I have friends on Oahu now!
