    We LOVED our experience with torpedo tours out of Kona. Rachael, Michael, and Mike were a great crew to have for the day and we are so lucky to have dove with them. They showed us a huge school of fish, we watched dolphins, and we felt very safe with them leading us. We would HIGHLY recommend for anyone traveling to the Big Island, and would absolutely dive with them again. Thank you for such a great experience!
