I was stationed in Hawaii a few years back and will be returning for a week in March. I did a lot of diving there from 2000-2004, my favorites being the YO-257 by kayak, the Tiger Shark, Kaka'Ako at night, Electric Beach (with a lookout topside to keep an eye on stuff), and a few places on the North Shore, and Hanauma Bay at sunrise. I used to be part of the club at Hickam and charged my tanks for a song and dance.
At the time, I wasn't in to reefkeeping, perhaps I am now since I don't live there any more. I'm looking for a good spot to see more reef now as I used to primarily dive wrecks. Primarily shore diving but may rent a kayak if there's something worth seeing further out.
I'm sure collection permits are impossible to get for coral, but the real question is whether it's even worth it? I Imagine most everything found in the waters there (although diminishing) is available at local shops, no?
Finally, anyone out there diving CCR? I know I ran into a few guys back then, but not many.
