I'm in Wakiki for another week. Once my cold abates in a day or so, which diving center would you recommend?
Got the PADI open water licence with ten or so dives behind me, but haven't been underwater the past year so am rusty. Night diving with manta rays would be awesome but seems to require more experience, so I'd love to hear your recommendations of different outfits.
I have access to a car.

What happens if you sneeze while 50 feet down?
What do you think happens? Sneezing underwater is not dangerous, you might have to clear out your mask, but that's something they teach you on the first day of a dive class.
I can't recommend a specific company, but just about every outfit will be accustomed to people who took a course and haven't been on a dive for several years. Just let them know and they'll be able to accommodate you. One thing though, the water is rougher in winter, a lot of the better sites aren't going to be as easily accessible, visibility is likely to be lower, etc. I eventually decided not to go while I was there in December, but it's worth a shot if you're not going to have any opportunities to dive otherwise.

Response by poster: I've only ever been diving in Sweden, so any visibility above 3 metres is an improvement… I understand that the weather is rougher this time of year but figure both the temperatures and marine life might be worth it.
