Kona’s Underwater Wonderland Is a Diver’s Paradise

Welcome to Kona, Hawaii, where you can have a scuba diving experience that stays with you long after you’ve stepped out of the water. From a 2-Tank Day Dive to our Discovery Scuba program, we have options for both expert divers and beginners alike. Join us for the time of your life!

Perfect Conditions Year-Round

The waters surrounding the Big Island of Hawaii are a warm paradise, maintaining temperatures between 75-80°F throughout the year, making thick, restrictive wetsuits unnecessary. With visibility often extending beyond 100 feet below the surface, you feel like you’re floating through the crystal-clear waters. We are very grateful for Kona’s unique geography of minimal runoff and naturally protected coastlines.

A Living Volcanic Gallery

Here in Hawaii, the island’s volcanic history comes alive beneath Kona’s surface. You’ll see twisted lava tubes and arches carved by ancient flows that have long-since cooled with other rock formations dressed in living coral. The waters here are truly special! Watch as green sea turtles paddle by, gliding through the clear blue water. If you’re lucky, spinner dolphins may even appear, leaping and twisting in the distance, putting on a show that feels meant just for you. The underwater landscape and habitat of this beautiful island create a diving experience like no other.

Who Thrives on Our Scuba Diving Adventures

Whether you’re a seasoned explorer with many underwater dives or experiencing your first underwater breaths through our Discovery Scuba program, our scuba dives accommodate all levels of experience. Nearly two-thirds of our travelers arrive with certifications already in hand, and plenty of first-timers begin their diving journey with us.

Our adventures attract travelers of all ages and types. From couples to families and teens to seniors, we provide experiences that fulfill the desires of anyone who loves to scuba dive or has always wanted to. Please note that for groups of 7 or more, we offer private charters that let you customize your exploration.

Preparing for Your Underwater Journey

Honokohau Harbor is barely a 15-minute drive from Kona Airport, which is where you begin the adventure. If you’re already a certified diver, our guides will check your paperwork and provide you with your gear. If you’re a first-timer, they will walk you through our Discovery Scuba basics to ensure you’re well-educated on the activity and that you can breathe underwater effortlessly. At Kona Ocean Adventures, we value your well-being over taking shortcuts. Since 2015, we’ve always taken the long-winded route to follow every single Divers Alert Network safety protocol without exception.

Our team understands the importance of quality over quantity, which is why we never crowd our boats. Having 7 travelers per boat means you’re able to have a more personable and enjoyable experience. We also recommend capturing your time aboard by renting an underwater camera or enjoying the free digital photos we take throughout your journey.

Planning Your Perfect Dive

For the absolute pinnacle of diving conditions, consider booking between May and September when calm seas combine with visibility rates exceeding 90 feet. Our 8:30 a.m. and 12:30 p.m. departures capitalize on the peaceful morning and afternoon conditions, coinciding with peak activity for many marine wildlife.

During whale season (December through April), pair your afternoon dive with a morning of our whale-watching cruises, creating full days of marine discovery. A number of our guests have done this and said it was the most incredible experience.

Our Commitment to You: Booking and Cancellation Policies

If you need to cancel your Kona dive tour, smaller groups of 6 or fewer need to call 48 hours before the scheduled departure time for a full refund. A group of 7 or more or a private boat will need to let us know 72 hours prior.

We understand that nasty weather happens, even in paradise! Since your safety is our priority, we have no problem rescheduling bookings until it’s safe again. If the weather changes or boats don’t have at least 4 divers onboard, we will reschedule it to a different time or refund your money in full.
