One of my favorite locations to dive, to be honest, it's really hard for me to choose  one specific place, because there are still so many places i still want to dive and every place  has something different to offer and the idea of exploring different locations, especially  around the world, fascinates me. From the places that i have been, i would say one of my favorite  locations is Hawaii, specifically in Kona on the Big Island. Honaunau Bay offers great easy access  to significant depth, the water is warm year-round,   there's also a really nice reef around the bay,  so when you're finished with your dive session, you can always have the opportunity to go and explore or play around and oftentimes there's a pot of dolphins that plays around in  the bay and you can see them sometimes on your way out to your dive session or coming back in from your dive session and it's always such a pleasure and such a treat to be able to share the water with these amazing marine animals. Hawaii also has an abundance of marine life that  i think is amazing, you have the dolphins, there's the humpback whales that come down for the  winter months and hearing their song underwater is absolutely amazing. Sometimes they're so close that you can feel your body vibrating and you're just listening to them sing under water while you're on your dive, it's actually a really really cool experience to be able to  have that and to have access to that as well.

And then there's also so many things to do outside  of depth training. They have manta dives, they have the night manta dives, where we have the giant  pacific manta rays, there's also nice hiking and waterfalls, ponds and other recreational dives and then if you're tired of diving and want to take a rest for a day, you can always go explore, hike down the valleys, go camping and even go to Mauna Kea, to look at the stars and see the observatory where it gets significantly colder. But i definitely enjoy the weather here, where we have a nice climate and nice conditions almost  all year round. Also it's where i was born and raised, so i definitely have a specific connection  to Hawaii. I love where i'm from and i really appreciate having the opportunity to be here and also the community here is quite amazing. It's like a big family, so  definitely, if you get a chance to come to Hawaii, it's a great place to dive, come  check it out, it's beautiful.
