"Honu One" is the most comfortable and fastest boat of its size on the Kona Coast. We are rated #1 in dive boats on the Kona Coast of Hawaii

Recently featured in New York Times Travel magazine as one of the fast new great dive boats in Kona Hawaii offering one of the top 10 dives of the world, THE MANTA RAY NIGHT dive.

The "Honu One" was also featured on the reality show "The Last Resort" in January 2003.

"My husband and I visited Hawaii in May 2004. We booked a Manta Ray dive though our hotel activity desk and were not sure what to expect. I have to say this was the best dive we have ever done. The staff was exceptional. One thing that stands out the most is that they did NOT treat us like cattle. We had a very relaxing and fun ride out and once we were at the dive site the staff made sure everyone was comfortable with their gear, the dive site and diving in general. I have trouble equalizing and always feel like I am holding the dive up, not this time. The crew was right there to help me out and I cannot thank them enough. Had it been any other dive company that I have used in the past, I would have given up and went back to the boat. Not this time, I had the time of my life. I have told everyone I know about your company and have recommended you to them. We have been planning a trip to Mexico to do our advanced, but have decided to wait and go back to Hawaii next May and use Kona Honu Divers. The main reason is the staff and how they do everything possible to make sure you have a great diving experience. Mahalo to the entire staff. See you next May." Don & Virginia Durden Denver, CO
