Night Dives & Spearfishing with Kona Honu Divers in Kona

Kailua-Kona on Hawaii’s Big Island offers some of the most dynamic marine experiences in the Pacific, where volcanic coastline meets vibrant coral reefs and nocturnal ocean life shines in the dark. Kona Honu Divers has emerged as a standout outfitter here, blending expert dive guiding, safety focus, and local ocean knowledge into every charter. Whether you’re gearing up for a 2 Tank Night Manta Dive Charter or venturing into the shadowy depths on a Private Charter Black Water dive, the team makes every moment count.

The cornerstone of Kona Honu Divers’ offerings is their legendary night manta ray dives. After the sun dips below the horizon, manta rays appear in groups, spiraling through the beam of underwater lights that attract plankton. Watching these graceful giants glide mere feet from your mask offers a rare, almost cinematic glimpse into deep ocean life. The boats are managed by captains like John and Taka who prioritize both safety and personalized service, ready to adjust dive sites to the best conditions on any given night.

Beyond night diving, their Discover Scuba Diving Experience welcomes beginners with patient instructors who focus on comfort and technique, transforming tentative first-timers into confident ocean adventurers. Meanwhile, spearfishing trips and the Honu One Private Charter offer intimate, tailored encounters with Hawaii’s marine environment, opening access to less crowded reefs.

Every guide and crew member—from Kevin to Holly—is praised for friendliness and, importantly, an authentic passion for the ocean’s creatures and their preservation. Dive operations keep gear organized and rinsed, plus provide valuable tips for buoyancy and current management, nurturing a safe, educational, and exhilarating environment.

For visitors seeking more than a routine dive, Kona Honu Divers stands out through their commitment to excellence and local expertise—making any underwater journey in Kailua-Kona unforgettable, connected, and deeply rewarding.
