Where are your favorite dive spots on the Kona-Kohala coast? Thanks, Sue!

Ours is usually Honaunau/Two Step–easy in and easy out. Great visibility and always great sites and relaxing time. This pic was sent to me by Scott Hansen who dives all over the world.  I believe this was taken in Tonga where it’s “legal” to purposely dive with the Humpbacks. Sue has some great pics of the Kona coast–send them and we’ll post!

We are at a unique latitude in Kona where it is possible to see the Southern Cross and the Big Dipper–at the same time! Check out the picture I recently took of the Southern Cross from our home in North Kona:
