Dean, send a PM to Sockmonkey, he lives north of Kona. If he's not available to dive with you, he might be able to hook you up with someone who can.

Sorry, my intent was not to be a Dick. It just struck me as an odd first post.

I have a friend who lives in Hilo but often dives in Kona. If you can't hook up with sockmonkey, let me know and I'll get Edward's info to you.

Linedog: FYI I am very well aware that this is a Northwest dive club. And I would be willing to bet that I am the most north and west member in this club. I live in ALASKA and like most Alaskans we travel. Thought you might to. Alaska goes so far to northwest that is is also the farthest East. I can see how my Post would sound strange to you. And thanks for the saying you were sorry Its accepted. Now lets move on and Drop it. Because this kind of stuff will not help the club Thanks Dean

Off topic a little that Alaska is odd in that it fits these definitions:

Farthest Western State
Farthest Eastern State
Farthest Northern State

Also:
In Alaska, it is illegal to look at a moose from the window of an aircraft or another flying vehicle. It is also illegal to push a live moose out of a moving aircraft.

In Minnesota, it is illegal to cross state lines with duck on your head.

Carry on

It's true, about the most Eastern Alaska sticks so far out to the west that it crosses the date line or something like that . and becomes the most Easterly land in the U.S. I lived here a long time before i found that out. The North and West part are easy to understand.
South Point on the Big Island of Hawaii is the most Southern land in the U.S. everyone thinks it's in Florida kind of odd I know
its not illegal to look at a moose from any plane. no flying and hunting the same day. But no pushing a moose out of a plane . I had a plane for a while
