What island is the best for surfing and scuba?
t456 asked:
Hi - Planning to go to Hawaii in August for 7-8 days. Wondering if anyone had any recommendations for the best places to go scuba diving. I am certified but my husband will have to do a resort course. Also, we want to learn to surf. Which island(s) should we go to? Can we do 2 islands in 7 days? Thanks!

MAUI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it is far by the best……excellent scuba diving places…….excellent surf places…………snorkiling places are awsome….go to Maui…..you wont regret it
We like Oahu for surfing…the waves on Waikiki Beach are perfect if you are just beginning…take Surf Lessons (ask for Fritz at the Moana Surfrider Hotel Beach Activities desk) and DON’T forget your Water shoes…there are some sharp creatures in the water on Waikiki…we love Molokini Crater for the Best Scuba Diving on Maui as well as SNUBA in case your husband doesn’t have a chance to get signed up for a course. You reach Molokini by boat…but there is great Scuba Diving off the beach at Black Rock…Napili…Kapalua and up and down Portions of Kaanapali. You Can do two Islands in 7 days but it will be a little stressful…I personally wouldn’t…I would stick with one Island until you can return for at least 10-14 days. But then I like to take my sweet time doing things and relaxing…No Rushing for me…My kids and My favorite Islands are Oahu and Maui,we spent 10 days on Oahu and 11 days on Maui last July and it still wasn’t long enough…lol…~~Aloha,Enjoy a hui ho~~
For surfing it depends on your ability, there are places you can go that accomodate beginner surfers, but if you want to try you luck with the big waves, Waiemia Bay is the place, oh don’t forget Jaws.
