Took advantage of Big Island Divers for the Black Water Dive and it was amazing. More than the dive itself, the dive master Jonathan D... (can't remember his last name) stood out as one of the most knowledgeable, funny and grounded individuals I have met. Huge thanks to him for making this a memorable Black Water experience. Cheers! - Jm More

My daughter (15 years old) & I went out for a 2tank dive yesterday with capt Jeff, Dan, Flipper and Vicky. They took excellent care of us and our group! They took time to educate us about what species of fish we would likely see before both dives. I was a little worried about the Manta night dive--but looking back... More

A group of 6 of us had an incredible experience diving/snorkeling last night. They were very professional from the moment we stepped into their dive shop to get fitted for all our gear. Using humor and fun stories, they put everyone at ease, including some brand new snorkelers and an anxious diver. Captain Jeff, diver master Stan and snorkel guide... More

Wow...it was AMAZING. Some of the best money we spend on our trip. Our team (Captain Craig, Mike (SCUBA guide), and Shawn (Snorkel guide) were amazing! We got custom fitted for our wet-suits and gear (we snorkeled) and then went out to sea. Mikey gave us an intro the Mantas and then we went in! And wow...the rays couldn't have... More

Husband went diving early in the am and returned by 1:30. We could enjoy the rest of the day together and he could scuba to his hearts content. He shared his pictures and adventure with me daily. So nice to see him pleased and happy with the experience. More

My family and I went on the manta dive last night. It was so amazing. They are such beautiful creatures. Captain Mike was awesome. He was full of laughter and good(bad) jokes. Jonathan was very full of knowledge. I'm pretty sure he knows more about the mantas then most oceanographers. Our dive master was Amanda-she was an amazing. The only... More

My boyfriend and I had checked out the various dive shops on the Big Island. I even thought about going back to another shop from my first visit. We choose BID as they offered a 3-day dive package and had the Manta dive on the night we wanted. Headed to BIDs straight from the airport to get booked the next... More
