We found very detailed directions at shorediving.com. Do be aware even if you bring your own gear as we did rental tanks/weights one place (Big Island Divers) charged us $59 for 4 tanks (including one nitrox tank), and weights for two people. We found it more convient to go to Kona Boys Scuba shop in Captain Cook to get our air. He charges $10/tank, not really cheap but it`s closer to City of Refuge meaning you`ll haul your tanks less distance saving you gas. You absolutely MUST do a manta night dive while you`re there. We went out with Neptune Charlies, and had an absolutely wonderful time. Nice big boat, reasonable price. We got 2 for 1 price but we had to sit through a 2 hour presentation/sales pitch for a timeshare operation. But at $90/person that`s still pretty reasonable without the discount. Hope all that info helps.
