The Kona Aggressor liveaboard was an 80 foot catamaran liveaboard that accomodated 14 divers. They used to take divers on week-long trips down the Kona coast. Because of the length of the trip they were able to visit sites far to the south that are untouched by most divers.

What happened to Kona Aggressor?

When the COVID pandemic hit the boat went to Oahu for dry dock. During it’s inspection it was determined it would need major repairs to the hull. The expense of the repairs was so great the owner decided not to proceed. The operation shut down in 2020.

Are there Liveaboards in Hawaii?

No liveaboards exist in Hawaii at present. The Kona Aggressor was decommissioned in 2020 and since then, no other liveaboards exist. It is possible to dive many of the same sites however by booking the premum advanced long-range dive trip with Kona Honu Divers.
