I think a lot of people take charters elsewhere that are to specific spots... say to a particular wreck, or to a particular cave or rock/bomme Here we've got it good having so many real good dives in relatively close proximity.<BR/><BR/>The other question we get a lot is "how far do you go out?"... which is kind of a chuckler because if you go more than 100-300 yards offshore in much of Kona you are apt to be in water far too deep to dive. Many places in the world have thier reefs miles offshore, we just have to decide how far up or down the coast we need to go, not out from shore, as we have diveable reefs within feet or yards of the shore.<BR/><BR/>Neither question is a hot button with me, but sometimes that first on gets me annoyed because some people will try and try again to get me to commit ahead of time to a certain dive site they've heard about from someone... ain't gonna happen, because the moment I make the mistake of somehow committing to it, conditions on the day of the dive will make it undiveable. We try to do requested sites when possible, but it just doesn't happen all the time.<BR/><BR/> Aloha,<BR/><BR/> SteveStevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00093141136654853483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17703285.post-35172802610232774732008-10-05T17:37:00.000-10:002008-10-05T17:37:00.000-10:00Great story about the mooring system and Jerry Gar...Great story about the mooring system and Jerry Garcia! Thanks for sharing that with us.<BR/><BR/>We all have pet peeves and yours must be that question...hang in there! It might help to figure out why the customers are asking -- maybe they need more explanations?<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your interesting blog and great photos!
