Diving in Hawaii

Yesterday I was afforded the opportunity to do an impromtu dive on the Island of Oahu, HI while traveling on business. Since this was rather short notice and I wanted a nice dive on the cheap, I contacted one of my business acquaintances, whom I had recently learned was a diver, and said "Hey I'm in town tomorrow, lets go diving!" Great news, he said sure.

Upon arriving on the island I contacted a favorite shop of mine, Ocean Concepts (www.oceanconcepts.com ), and they advised me (and later equipped me) on where the best spot for was for a shore dive. If any one is looking to dive on Oahu, I highly recommend diving through Ocean Concepts. Full service, fully equipped and very friendly.

My friend and I were able to get two shore dives in on a spectacular day. You know its amazing how many people are certified divers and you don't know it till you ask. Many times they just don't have anyone (local friend etc.) to go diving with or are overcome by very busy lives. Sometimes it just takes you to say, "hey...lets go diving!" to rekindle the spark and ta-da, a renewed dive buddy is born. So talk up diving as you go through your travels...never know where you might find a new buddy!
