The Kona coast is known for the many varieties of endemic tropical fish, formations from old lava flows and hard corals. You may also encounter dolphins, eagle rays, turtles, eels, sharks, and manta rays.
The manta ray dive or manta ray night snorkel is the number one night dive in the world and is an exhilarating underwater experience that is unique to the Kona Coast. You'll start your adventure at Honokohau Harbor in the late afternoon and enjoy the sunset while cruising the Kona coast to the manta viewing site. The knowledgeable and highly experienced swim guides, dive masters, and instructors will help you gear up and slip in to see these gentle giants loop, somersault, and cruise in the beams of light as they funnel the plankton into their giant mouths. The divers will settle down on the ocean floor and shine their dive lights up to attract the plankton. This bucket list adventure has a bottom time of 50-60 minutes, depending upon air consumption. Snorkelers will surround a snorkel board on the surface with powerful lights pointed down to attract the plankton, and in turn attract the graceful manta rays.
The manta ray night dive or manta ray night snorkel is an exhilarating underwater experience that is unique to the Kona Coast and one of the top night dives of the world! You'll start your adventure at Honokohau Harbor in the afternoon and cruise the Kona coast up to Garden Eel Cove, by the airport. Divers and snorkelers enjoy the beautiful Hawaiian marine life during the day and come back up for a 1-hour surface interval where you are served light refreshments and sandwiches as you enjoy the sunset. After nightfall, the knowledgeable crew will take you back into the water to see these gentle giants loop, somersault, and cruise in the beams of light as they funnel the plentiful plankton into their giant mouths. The divers will settle down on the ocean floor and shine their dive lights up to attract the plankton. Bottom time is 50-60 minutes. Snorkelers will surround a snorkel board on the surface with powerful lights pointed down to attract the plankton, and in turn attract the graceful manta rays.
We invite you to spend a morning exploring two different dive sites along the Kona coast on our 46ft Newton Dive Special, the Honu One. On this charter, you can expect to see many of our endemic fish, view old lava formations, maybe spot the hard to find octopus, see a resting white tip reef shark, and encounter many other creatures that call this their home.
Having up-to-date scuba diving skills is an important safety factor and will help improve your Kona diving comfort. You want to be safe, comfortable, and confident while underwater. You will be guided by a Kona Honu professional dive guide for a diving refresher and have the option to practice skills in addition to mask clearing, regulator recovery, and alternate air source use. After your successful check out charter, you are welcome to join the dive group on the other charters!
You will learn the basic skills to scuba dive with a dive professional for the morning. This is NOT a certification.
Looking for a more advanced dive? Blackwater diving is a unique night dive which will take you miles offshore where you will hang, suspended from a 60ft tether, over 4000ft of water to watch open ocean, or pelagic, animals drift by. You'll have the opportunity to see animals ranging from perfectly clear larval fish and invertebrates to siphonophores, and even cephalopods out in the deep. If you want to observe something you have never seen before, this is the dive for you.
The open ocean safari delivers opportunities to see whales, dolphins, whale sharks, big pelagic fish, sharks, mantas, and more. The Ocean Warrior is Hawaii's fastest boat! Step on board and you're able to cover miles of coastline, giving you the best chance for large animal encounters. The Big Island of Hawaii is home to 13 different species of whale and many can be seen year round. With an ability to travel 50mph+ over the water, finding and swimming alongside large marine life is only a matter of time.
