I forget, you live on the west coast right? If so, I really would consider Hawaii. I agree that Maui would be too busy for your liking judging by what you have written in this thread. Hilo is not a fun place to stay at all, there's really nothing to do there, in a bad way. It's kinda a junky town, but I do love the Big Island. Something to consider is staying on Lanai or Molokai which are the two small islands right off Maui. Lanai has a couple resorts to stay at and has some good snorkeling/diving right off the coast. Molokai has one, maybe two resorts but I have a friend that goes there every year and just rents a house on the beach. They have become friends with locals that live in the area because they have gone the last few years. Both islands give you the great Hawaii feel, you will see the whales, has great diving, great beaches and is very secluded compared to the "main" islands. Plus if you live on the west coast, it's only a 4-5 hour flight and there are good prices right now.

I really enjoy Kauai too but I'm not too sure about diving.
