Dive Review of Wanna Dive Kona/n/a in
Hawaii/Kona

My wife commented on Wanna Dive , June 2012, in Hawaii. The gearing up and entering the water was rushed, When my turn to enter the water came, the boat captain came to assist and my BC did not inflate, the hose was not connected. He struggled but said he connected the inflator hose. It seemed ok I rolled into the water and started the swim to the anchor line. noticed that I could not breathe and the BC seemed to have a buoyancy problem. I turned back to the boat called for assistance the dive master had told my buddy to start down before I entered the water. The dive master was not present on the surface . At this point I was having difficulty, couldn’t breathe and was getting anxious. I yelled again that I was “in trouble” and said put down the ladder, which was in the up position. After another shout the ladder was put down and I began an unassisted climb. I told the captain I was not going to dive. I definitely would not recommend Wanna Dive Hawaii

Neal, did you even check the inflator to make sure it worked before entering the water? That Pre-Dive Buddy Check you learned in your beginning class was there for a reason.

certainly you are correct on the need to check and recheck the equipment.had that been the only problem the review would not have been written, but the sources of dissatisfaction were many!
