I always try to have 36 hrs between a dive and a flight.....
Good advice on the 36 hour part. ^

Sorry to say, but I'm not a big fan of the Mahi anymore.
I first dove it in 1991 and it was awesome.
Last dive there was 2007. Almost 20 years later, having weathered innumerable storms, surges and the march of time, it is showing its age.

For my money (literally ) I still say the San Pedro and/or the YO-257 right off Waikiki are your best bets.

Good luck,
Ted
