Kona Shore Divers is a Kona-based dive and charter operator in Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. The company offers private manta snorkel charters, private boat charters, the Dive And Drive private Big Island adventure, guided beach snorkels, and dive & snorkel gear rentals.
Trips include the Private Manta Snorkel Charter — a night adventure with soft lights to view manta rays — and the Kona Town Manta Sunset Snorkel that combines sunset views with manta feeding. Private Boat Charters are tailored for sunset cruises, snorkeling, or dining at sea with a dedicated crew and personalized itineraries. The Dive And Drive experience uses the “Big Blue” 4x4 van for a five-hour custom tour to remote dive sites where divers and non-divers can share the day.

Dive & Snorkel Gear Rentals provide tanks, weights, BCDs, and full rental sets with 24-hour availability to support independent divers.
Kona Shore Divers focuses on private, customizable experiences and small-group activities that emphasize direct connections with Hawaii’s marine environment.
