Trip Report, Kona: actually just a video :-)

Post by kerbyk »

Went to Kona for 10 days to visit my folks and certify my wife rescue. After work dives we went fun diving and met some cool critters. This time around I had my GoPro. Had to do color correction in post and screwed it up in places, but I'm happy with the footage. Hope you enjoy!

It's two dive sites, Napoopoo and Keahaou bay! Both easy shore dives!

Keahaou bay is the same place Jacks and other charters go for their night Manta dive. During the day, the hotel has a ladder in the water (if there's no swell) that is open to the public (but well hidden)!
