The marine life here is extraordinary - giant sea turtles, manta rays, octopus, dolphins, moray eels, scorpion fish, frog fish, nudibranchs, and colorful coral formations are all common sights. Explore underwater caves and lava formations while your instructor stays with you throughout the dive.
If you love the experience, ask the crew about becoming a PADI certified diver to continue your scuba journey. Departs from Honokohau Small Boat Harbor in Kailua-Kona.
