If so, could you recommend any dive sites or shops to go through on Oahu and Kauai.



I've been on Oahu once, don't remember the dive shop though... was only there for a couple days that year. Dove a couple of wrecks which were pretty neat. On Kauai, I've been out numerous times with both Bubbles Below and Sea Sport Divers. Sea Sport is based in the Poipu area, while Bubbles Below departs out of Port Allen. As for dive sites, my favorite without a doubt is the 3-tank trip to Ni'ihau. Both companies run charters there, although they will only go if there's enough interest, so make sure you call well in advance. The diving off of Ni'ihau is amazing... great vis, amazing diversity of marine life, and some really one-of-a-kind stuff, like being able to get pretty close to a Hawaiian monk seal. I liked the Seasport boat better for the crossing over to Ni'ihau (a 2-hour ride than can get exciting on the way back). Bubbles Below now claims to have a 6-pack dubbed the "Dive Rocket", but I don't know anything about it beyond what's on their web site. I would willingly recommend either company. Be advised that a Ni'ihau trip is an all-day affair; you'll leave early (like 0600) and get back around 1730.
