Comments	As always, diving with Mike and Earl was a joy. They go out of their way to query their customers and find out what they want to see--and then do their best to find those things. We saw turtles and dolphins, sharks and at least one manta... And we saw Tinker's butterflies, dragon morays, psychedelic wrasses, frogfish and bicolor anthias--it's not all big stuff with Aloha Dive Co. I did 12 dives over 6 days, and the guests on the boat ranged from 5 to 2; Mike never takes more than 6. The Kona coast has limited hard corals, and only a few soft corals, but we saw the best of it, including rare black coral. Most of the divers who go out with Aloha are regulars who come back year after year. Mike and Earl certified my son 5 years ago and we've been diving with Aloha DC ever since--they just keep improving.
