About this tour

Venture miles offshore into Kona's deep ocean for one of the most unique dive experiences on the planet. This blackwater night dive suspends you from a 60-foot tether over more than 4,000 feet of open ocean, where rare pelagic creatures rise from the deep - larval fish, translucent invertebrates, siphonophores, and cephalopods drift through your dive lights in a mesmerizing display you won't see anywhere else.

This is an advanced dive for experienced, self-reliant divers only. You'll need excellent buoyancy control and comfort in open water with no bottom reference.
