"Hawaiian Divers after a good SCUBA dive....with lots of friendly smiles"
The wonderful adventures in Hawaii will and must never end. Bob Hofelich is one of the original founders of PADI (circa 1970), and has been actively diving since 1969, when he became a NAUI diver and helped start PADI, a loosely knit social association of friendly diving instructors way way back then, but which has since been sold, incorporated, and marketed at a slick promotional enterprise interested and motivated by slick marketeers mostly motivated by big profit, hence the name "Put Another Dollar In". Guess who I am talking about??? Not my favorite diver business organization by far. Those "business men and women in their business suits" ruined diving and clobbered the reefs throughout the world with their slick advertising. Thats too bad.
OUR supporting corporate organization, SOUTH PACIFIC DIVERSITY, Inc, a non profit hawaiian divers corporation known previously as UNIVERSITY OF THE OCEANS, is even dedicated to replanting the ravaged ecosystems in the South Pacific and we plant trees on these remote islands with your contributions...so help us...we need and want your support more than anyone else. We are motivated to give back to the earth more than what we take....
Corporation secretary, CDR Bob Hofelich (USN), a Navy SEAL for 26 years of active duty, is certified as a TRIMIX and SCUBA instructor and has two sons, PAUL and DANIEL HOFELICH that will eventually be the new dive instructors and divemasters for HAWAIIAN DIVERS partnered with SOUTH KONA DIVERS and KONAQUATICA. TIM, BOB, and JIM are good friends, and love the adventure of diving. Their combined wealth of DIVING experience far surpasses the cutthroat business practices of the big corporations, the certification agencies who are more interested in "putting another dollar in" . So if you want personal attention, and a safer dive, dive with us...we are personal and friendly and ALOT safer. Since we are hawaiian divers, you will always find us in Hawaii. and we will always remember you too, and WE WILL MAKE SURE you and your friends have the best dive experience possible in HAWAII. Our business runs the full gamut of diving all the way from instruction in basic diving all the way to rebreather dives down DEEP. How deep???, thats a secret..... Bob has the kudo of doing the deepest dive in any cave system in Hawaii...but that story if for another day.
JIM HOLT is the guru of rebreather diving and has the nicest KONA SCUBA DIVING DIVE BOAT for a personal and safe dive in Hawaii. Ask Jim to bring his sax along for after a night dive...he is quite a good sax player with a full moon in the background..... after a good night dive under the KONA stars....
TIM FOLDEN is the HAWAIIAN...the only HAWAIIAN who owns his own dive business in HAWAII !!!! TIM is a very very very good SDI and SSI dive instructor. There is no man with more patience.... and good humor...and teaches all the knowledge that comes with good aloha.....excellent!!!!!!! If you were taught by TIM, then YOU ARE A DIVER!!!!
