About this tour
Dive into one of Hawai'i's most magical underwater encounters - a manta ray night scuba dive off the Kona Coast. As dive lights illuminate the water, plankton gathers and attracts giant manta rays that perform mesmerizing barrel rolls just inches away from you in the darkness.
This is an advanced dive experience requiring Advanced Open Water certification and a minimum of 50 logged dives - be prepared to show your log book. The small group format ensures personalized guidance from expert dive professionals, and full rental gear is available for those who need equipment.
Kona is one of the best places on Earth to dive with manta rays, though as wild animals in a variable environment, their presence cannot be guaranteed. No refunds are offered if mantas are not seen during the dive.
The dive departs in the early evening from a Kona Coast shore entry point. Kona Shore Divers is a mobile operation that meets you at the dive site.
