 e have put together some
Hawaii SCUBA diving resources to help you get the most
from your diving holiday. SCUBA diving is a very popular water activity
and a natural for those who travel to Hawaii.
Whether a newcomer to the sport, or a seasoned diver, Hawaii offers many opportunities for some great diving adventures.
There
are diving tours throughout the Islands for beginner to expert, or
design your own independent Hawaii SCUBA diving adventure, but
remember: NEVER DIVE ALONE. ALWAYS take a diving buddy along to share
the joys of Hawaii SCUBA diving.
First off, you may wish to learn what other divers have experienced while SCUBA diving in Hawaii. Check out the Skin Diver Hawaii at Skin Diver Online. Not only are there good dive articles, but clickable dive site maps for the major islands, as well. Another great resource is eScuba. Be sure to check out
 the links under "More resources" at the bottom of the page. These resources will get you up to speed on what to expect while diving in Hawaii.

If
you have yet to take the plunge (couldn't help myself ;-) with the
thrilling sport of SCUBA diving, here are two beginner packages to get
you started, one on Oahu and the other off the Kona Coast, the Big Island.
For beginners and certified divers alike, enjoy a diving adventure with Sea Paradise Scuba,
a PADI certification-training center on the Big Island, or explore the
beautiful waters of the Kona Coast from a brand new custom snorkel and
dive vessel and go beyond snorkeling on a guided Snuba tour.
Snuba is a unique, patented, shallow water dive system, bridging the
gap between snorkeling and SCUBA diving. Snuba is safer and easier than
SCUBA diving and does not require certification. Maybe you would like
to try out
Snuba Tours of Kauai to check out the beauty that surrounds this Hawaiian Island.
If
you're in need of some new diving gear, from buoyancy compensators to a
nifty underwater propulsion unit, you may wish to check out Sport
Chalet. There, you'll find all sorts of goodies for the sports
enthusiast.
For those of us who are special-needs divers (yes, I use a wheelchair and possess a
NAUI SCUBA diver's certificate), there's no better resource than the Handicap SCUBA Association International (HSA), or you may wish to give the
 International Association for Handicapped Divers (IAHD) a try.
However, if you're lucky enough to have all your fins functioning, then here are some other great resources. PADI, another highly respected diver certification organization, has been around for years and has a great website and magazine, Sport Diver.
If you would like to read up on the best dive sites in Hawaii, there's no better source than Hawaii Skin Diver Magazine. Once you read up on the best dive sites, get the best waterproof dive maps and reef creatures cards from Franko's Maps.
For a school of diving links, Google™
your way to these informative sites that will have you swimming in a
sea (puns intended) of online SCUBA news quicker than you can say,
H-a-w-a-i-i.
So,
if SCUBA diving is your thing and Hawaii your destination, you had
better get surfin', and I don't mean the Hawaii kind either, as that's
for another page.
