Does anyone have recommendations regarding diving at Kahului,Maui or Kona,Hawaii or Nawiliwili, Kauai? I know I can do the excursions via the cruiseship but I'm apprehensive of the "cattle boat" effect I've heard of... And I'm a novice and would actually like a dive company that would have a divemaster go with me....Also, has anyone who's gone diving on Pride of Aloha with the ships dive excursions versus privately, do you have any info. on your experience? Size of boat, type, amount of people on the diveboat, the divemasters? Any info. would be appreciated.... Thanks. :)
