    FAQs

    Bring proof of Open Water certification (or higher) and make sure you have dived within the past 2 years. If it has been more than 2 years since your last dive, book a refresher option; longer gaps require additional training (more than 5 years: PADI ReActivate; more than 10 years: take the Open Water course again).

    Show your dive card (physical or electronic) before boarding. If you can’t provide proof of certification, you won’t be allowed to dive and you won’t receive a refund.

    You must be in good health with no heart conditions. This trip is not suitable if you are pregnant or have neck or back injuries. You also need to dive with a computer, converse in English, and stay with a dive group without needing more attention than a typical guided dive.

    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.
