Hawaii Scuba Diving on The Kona Coast With Kona Honu Divers

Built to Our Specifications for Your Diving Pleasure!

Our custom built dive boats feature:

• a cabin with lots of shade and a dry area for your valuables
• fresh water showers and a marine toilet for your convenience
• a fly bridge with upper seating for divers who want a great vantage point while we are underway
• hand rails, a swim platform, and stern ladders for your safety and comfort
• navigation lights, flood lights, and cabin lights to make diving at night easy
• USCG approved floatation devices, VHF radio, life preservers, O2 kit, AED, and a first aid kit show how much we value your safety

Diving with Kona Honu Divers is "vacation diving". On the "Honu One" the crew carries your tank back to one of two benches on the stern. You just sit down, buckle up, and stride off into the beautiful Kona waters.

Our newest boat, the "Honu Iki" provides our guests with a special treat when they go out on the Manta Ray Night Dive charter. She is equipped with underwater LEDs that shine a brilliant blue light off of her stern. The light attracts plankton and the mantas love to swim in graceful circles while they feed on the plankton to the delight of all aboard.

Hey Kona Honu Divers!
I just got back from my trip to the Big Island, and I am still re-living the amazing Manta Ray Night Dive that my brother, my 70 year-old Dad and myself did on May 6! The crew on the boat was fantastic, and even though I had a badly sprained ankle, I was determined to see those beautiful rays, and they helped in every way to get me in and out of the water as pain-free as possible. I really appreciated it, and will remember that dive always!!! It was definitely one of the major highlights of my life, and my Dad and brother felt the same way. I will be recommending Kona Honu Divers and your Manta Ray dive to everyone I know!

I've posted my two videos that I took on YouTube, if you want to check them out. I can't wait to get the full DVD of it!!!!
