Going to Honolulu (Waikiki) for work. Who to dive with and what dives to ask for?

I'm going to Honolulu for work the first week of July and will have a day or two where I can go diving. Does anyone have any recommendations where to go and who to go there with?

edit: I guess I need more of a recommendation of who the good dive shops are since I'll be at the mercy of where ever they take me anyway.

edit 2: downvote for asking a question? Really?

Brazilian rotisserie pineapple: which way to rotate?

Every recipe I find has you putting the spit rod through the side so when it’s turning it would be cooking the ends. This doesn’t make sense to me.

First, why wouldn’t you run it through the middle so the outside is cooking?

Second, every rodizio I’ve ever been to has it through the middle so they can cut the outside off for you to eat.

What am I missing?

Why why why are there no 16ohm 1x12 cabs?

I have a SS-112 (the Studio/stage combo) with a purpleback and want to add a 1x12 Fane or WEM cabinet under it. But Hiwatt's standard speakers are 16ohm for their combos. Knowing this, why are all the 1x12s 8 ohm?

Have you ever bet against a place you work at because your coworkers suck?

I’m doing an onboarding about insider trading and one of the things was making trades when you know the stock price is going to drop because you work there.

But have you ever shorted a company you worked at because you realized the people are idiots and the company was surely going to fail eventually?

I need a new glove. Recommendations? I usually play catcher but sometimes rover or very occasionally first.

The only limitation is it has to be available at JustBats JustGloves because I have a coupon.

I was planning on getting a 13.5" or 14" Rawlings R9 but if there's any other reccos for under $200, I'm all ears.

Edit: I'm specifically after a softball glove because I'm using an Easton baseball glove now and keep dropping balls because the pocket is too small.

KSR Ceres way too trebly, am I missing something?

I just got a KSR Ceres and it's crazy trebly. I checked the jumpers and they weren't jumped. I have the rhythm channel mode all the way up, Feel all the way up, Bright off, and still have the treble turned off completely. Lead channel the Feel switch is all the way down, Mode switch is all the way down, and treble is at like 8:30.

I'm using it as a pedal, running it into the front of a Hiwatt combo where every other pedal sounds fine. This one is just treble and ice pick all day every day. User error? I'm missing something? I don't remember reading any complaints about this or hearing it in demos before I got it.

NPD: Heather Brown Dolorosa

I unintentionally made an all black board but that’s not why I’m here. I got a Dolorosa and it’s pretty cool. It’s a pretty smooth overdrive and the ability to dial your clean tone back in is a pretty slick option.

I haven’t tried too much with it yet but when I put just a touch of my amp back in and then kick on Channel 1 of the Mother preamp (also unintentionally sort of started a motherly theme on this board) the sound is absolutely killer. With Mother on channel 2 and Dolorosa on, gives a bad ass hair metal tone with the settings I had on them.

The little switch on the side isn’t a subtle change. It’s almost like a whole other channel. Too bad it’s not remotely controllable.

One complaint: a pedal this size really should’ve had top mounted jacks. It’s not a deal killer, I just hate having pedals sideways so I guess I’ll be getting a bigger board.

What setting for an 8 ohm speaker and a 16 ohm?

If I have an amp with two parallel taps and a setting for 4, 8, or 16ohms, and the combo's built in speaker is 16ohm, and I have a cab that's 8ohm, do I set the amp for 4 or 8 ohms?

Edit: amp is Hiwatt Studio Stage 20/40

Cheap 5g hotspot as backup?

Anyone know of a cheap 5g hotspot with an Ethernet port that I can hook up to my router to use as a backup when my shitty internet goes down?

I used to use a Cradlepoint with a Verizon card for this but the company took it back when I left. And it was really expensive.

Based on the wait time for a Seekins HIT, how do I build so I can change calibers?

I was originally looking at a Tikka CTR but I want both a 16-20” 223 or 308, and a 24” 6.5CM. But I don’t want two rifles. The Seekins looked good because I could swap barrels easily. But now that we know it’ll be a 9 month wait, I’m thinking of building something instead. How would I build it so I can swap calibers without it being janky?

A couple of weeks ago I was getting something from Tokyo Central in Emeryville and the woman behind me unloaded a ton of these packets on to the conveyor. I asked about them and she said they were awesome. Boil in the pouch and pour on rice. Done.

I finally went back and got a couple and she was right. Delicious! And cheap.

So whoever you are, thanks!
