    Review summary

    Excellent
    6.9K reviews•Google Maps

    With a perfect track record across thousands of reviews, this Kona dive operation stands out for its exceptional crew and unforgettable underwater experiences. Divers consistently praise guides like Jeff, Sarah, Jason, Max, and Holger for their knowledge, professionalism, and ability to make everyone feel safe and comfortable in the water. The manta ray night dives get particular attention as "mind blowing" and "life changing," while their unique blackwater dives deliver encounters with deep sea creatures and occasional oceanic whitetip sharks that reviewers describe as truly special experiences. The seamless operation runs smoothly from start to finish. Certification courses (both Open Water and Advanced) are highly regarded, with instructors making the learning process engaging and thorough. Experienced divers with hundreds of logged dives note the organization and spacious, well-maintained boats. Captain John, Andy, and other crew members handle all the gear and logistics so you can focus on the diving. Multiple reviewers mention feeling genuinely cared for, with staff answering questions patiently and spotting wildlife that might otherwise go unnoticed. The relaxed, unhurried pace on the boat adds to the overall quality of the experience.

    Worth the money! Had an amazing trip on this two tank manta dive. The captain and guides Emily, Milo and Amy made the experience fun and enjoyable by being friendly, knowledgeable, passionate and easy going. We saw dolphins at sunset, followed by so many mantas on the dive! Plus there were tasty snacks, sandwiches, hot drinks and a hot shower rinse on board for after the night dive.
