One of my
favorite places is Hawaii. My Hawaii Journals are split
between my Oahu dives,
my Kona dives and my Maui dives.
In Oahu I dive with Aaron's Dive Shop. In
Maui I dive with Lahaina Divers. In Kona,
I dive with Kona Honu. Kona is my most recent trip (late
summer 2011. See blog) Earlier this year I made two
trips to Bon Aire (see blog and photo log for those
details.) For my travel tips
and thoughts regarding my April 2008 trip to
Honolulu, click on Honolulu Travel
Tips. On the April 2008 trip I
dove Oahu, so check the Oahu dive log and scroll down to the

As an active
Handi-Diver, I explored the city of Majuro, in the
Marshall Islands as part of this first venture to
the far Pacific. Please tell me what your thoughts are
about this trip summary.
May 2008
was a trip to Cozumel with
DiveHeart.
June 2008
was back to Cayman Brac with Dive Pirates.See blog.handi-divers.com for the
description and photos.handi-divers.com for the

Just
before Christmas 2007 my brother and I went to Key Largo
to dive with an operation called Scuba-Do. It was my first
time diving in Florida and I was very pleasantly
surprised by the extensive variety of marine life. The
diving conditions also gave me a pleasant surprise.
Water temp was 75 degrees, the coldest I've experienced
yet, but I was not cold at all, even at depth exploring
the U.S.S. Spiegal Grove. Visibility usually ranged
between 25 and 35 feet, which was definitely good enough
to stay safe and enjoy the
diving.
My 2007
Dive trip to Cayman
Brac was with Dive Pirates. They are
another great group of disabled divers, mostly
veterans.
July 2006 was my first
trip to Bon Aire. It is one of my favorite locations and
I try to get there every year. Perfect conditions-
warm water, no current and great visibility. It is also
a favorite spot for the Handicapped Scuba Association. They are a truly great group of people.This
Bon Aire Journal page is some photos that my dive buddy took
that first year I was there.
I
don't have a journal for my dives to San Carlos Mexico,
but that is where I learned. My primary instructors are
right here in my home town of Tucson, Arizona. That dive
shop is called Desert Divers and I
highly recommend
them. |
