The experience begins when our friendly dive crew greets you at the dock. Our staff is trained to set up your gear and get you Dailed in before entering the water.

We only take fully certified divers on our boats. This means you will always have a spacious and easy atmosphere aboard. Our 46′ newton custom dive boat accommodates 49 passengers but we only take 12 divers at a time. This means you will have ample space to stretch out on the lower deck, upper deck, or riding the bow with stellar views of the dolphins, and flying fish as they leap away from the bow wake. Our small boat the Honu Lele is a 33.5′ World Cat catamaran. This vessel is outfitted with full shade and bow railing so you can get the best vantage point of the pelagic animals like whales and dolphins as we cruise at high speeds on our long-range dive. This exclusive experience is something not available at other dive companies. You’ve never seen Kona diving like this!

Part of our culture is our focus on safety. This means we take safety into account in every decision we make. Part of that effort is our decision to offer free nitrox. This means you can enjoy safer, longer dives for free if you are nitrox certified! Scuba diving Kona is relatively easy diving and now with free nitrox it’s even better! We are rated top in safety for the entire pacific region by scuba diving magazine readers 3 years running.

Our staff is some of the most experienced dive professionals in the pacific. With a collective experience of over 60,000 dives we know where to find the best critters. Kona diving has many opportunities to find critters hiding in the reefs. It’s our job to know how to spot them. Our staff has been through safety training and is adept at dealing with unforeseen circumstances. We always do our best to avoid weather conditions that are not conducive to safe and fun diving. We love meeting new divers and greeting the divers that return back year after year.

Our gear is some of the best rental gear you will find in the world. We use Atomic brand regulators. Atomic makes the best diving regulators in the world. They are easy to breathe and have features that make them easy to use and more reliable. We also pro-actively check all of our regulators 4 times a year to ensure their proper functioning. Our BCD’s are replaced annually and our wetsuits are replaced regularly when they begin to show wear. This means you won’t have to worry about your gear. You can just focus on Kona Diving. We also provide neutrally buoyant aluminum 80cuft tanks. This means you won’t need to wear as much weight in your bcd as you might expect. Are you scuba diving Kona with a DIN regulator? No problem! We can accommodate that.

We donate to ocean related causes that help keep Kona’s reefs in pristine condition by maintaining moorings so we don’t have to anchor on or near the reefs. The underwater environment is important to us so we do all we can to protect this precious resource.
