news that they are overbooked. Offered to put us next door at Hedonism 2

I am heading off to Maui for a weeks worth of diving during the first
week of May.  I was wondering if anyone could recommend a site where I

attempted to make their own interface?  I'd like to eventually upload
my Vyper, but the original interface is pricey.

My family and I are planning to visit Kona in early May.
I am the only diver in the family.  I'd very much like to do some shore
diving while I'm there -- does anyone know how I might go about finding
a buddy over there?  Or should I just plan to keep it above 40 feet and

What do you usually do during after-hours on a liveaboard?
My wife and I are planning on a liveaboard trip to the Anadaman Sea
