It is with a combination of sadness and excitement that as of December of 2012 we're closing our dive charter business to pursue other opportunities on the mainland.  We've had a lot of fun meeting people over the years, and there are many I consider friends.   I'd like to say a big MAHALO to all who have patronized us over the last decade.  I'll still be continuing my blog http://www.kona-scuba-diving.blogspot.com if anyone cares to check on what I'm up to.  Scuba may or may not be part of my future, so this website will stay active for a while just in case.  I will be checking my business e-mail from time to time  steve@wannadivekona.com if anyone wishes to say howdy.  A fond ALOHA to all.
