Hawaiian Diving

I work on a cruise ship and have done a lot of diving over the last
few years. I'm going to Hawaii, for my first time, for the next 4
months and am looking for recommendations of dive operations in my
various ports. Unfortunately, due to time restraints while in
port...I need to find something fairly close to the port.
My ports of call include...
Hilo, Kona, Kauai(Nawiliwili), Honolulu, and Maui(Lahaina)
I'd be awfully appreciative of your experience and advice.

The problem you'll run into is that most of the operators like to
leave early. Severns and Robinson (Maui, but Kihei) like to leave
almost as soon as the sun is up. Dive Makai (Kona) is usually away by
7:30. We've seen the tenders coming in while we were pulling out of
Kona.

Working on the Pride of Aloha? Hope you give better service than has
come so far.

When I was a kid, I thought the angel's name was Hark
and the horse's name was Bob.

Thanks for the heads up.
No...not on the Pride of Aloha.
