We was planned to do two-tank morning dive and two-tank manta night dive with them. However, after our morning diving in Honolulu we realized that it would be difficult for us to do 4 dives in one day. The water temp was too cold for us(we usually dive in Malaysia and the diving company in Honolulu only provide 3mm wet... More

My husband and I visited Kona about a month ago 6 dives with KDC, including 2 of the night/manta dives. The manta dives were incredible and an experience I will never forget, but I will also remember the shining example of customer service by KDC. We have been diving all over the world, but this has been by far the... More

We elected to partake in the Manta night dive - but only as snorkellers - Wow The first dive before dusk we were surrounded by spinner dolphins, fish, and even managed to follow a manta ray around for 15 minutes. The second dive (after dusk) was a truly amazing experience. Snorkelling on the surface we were able to watch 9... More

My husband and I did 4 dives with KDC last week including the night manta dive which was unbelievable. Would definitely recommend this dive company to everyone coming to Kona. The staff is very knowledgeable and friendly and the owner is on the boat taking groups out diving also. They offer good snacks, hot and cold drinks, and a hot... More

I was truly wowed by Kona Diving Company and Big Island diving. KDC was top notch. Their entire staff was fantastic and I had amazing dives (two 80+ minute dives!) during the day. It is BEAUTIFUL by Kona (and I am sure elsewhere around the big island)--definitely do more than just the manta dive if you can. They love the... More

In April I got certified thru Kona Diving co. I had completed my PADI e-learning at home on Vancouver Island Canada and did my pool sessions & open water dives in Kona. I chose to get private instruction as the cost was not much more & I needed the personal attention. Thanks to Katie for the pool instruction & Billy... More

Great boat dive operation! Never overcrowded, all the guides are well versed, helpful, and super friendly ( one even loaned me his light to try out, and risk losing it). Plenty of TLC from The owner who is almost always on the boat. Plenty of food and drink, if that's important to you. Most important, they are safe and take... More

I have been diving with KDC several times over the last two years. Every time I am amazed by what awesome service, friendly staff and amazing times I have. You can tell the staff love their jobs and who wouldn't? The boat has a hot shower and the brownies are delicious. These guys take the time to listen to what... More

My trip with Kona Diving Company was amazing. I have been wanting to do the Manta night dive for awhile and all my expectations for it were met. I am an avid diver and realize that wildlife and wildlife sighting are never guaranteed. It is the nature of the game that some nights you might have mantas and some nights... More
