Comments	If you dive the Kona coast, you will have a difficult time finding a more dedicated, knowledgeable, FUN dive operation. Patrice, (in charge) Dave and Carlos are savvy, witty, and experienced. Patrice, especially, works as hard as any divemaster we’ve encountered to find the critters for you, and with her ever on-hand slate, lets you know what you are seeing, immediately. An amazing show was when she picked up a sea cucumber, and carefully dug a small crab out of the anal opening to show us, then carefully put him “back” and replaced the cucumber! From years of diving the area, she knows where “everybody” lives or can be found at all the sites. Divers are free to go it on their own, though, if they prefer. (You’ll miss a lot!) She is also very sensitive to currents, and careful to go elsewhere if conditions are not conducive to good diving.- - - And the refreshments! Best ever, including great deli wraps one day, brownies to die for every day, a variety of fruit, nuts, chips, etc., and a new (for us) snack - - green soy beans in the pod, to which we became addicted. Crunchy and delicious! - - - The like-new boat takes a maximum of six divers, has a shaded area, and is well equipped for safety and comfort. - - - We recommend Pacific Rim for maximum diving enjoyment!
