Kona Honu Divers is locally owned and operated. From the moment you step into the shop or prepare to board one of our boats, you become part of our "ohana" or family. Our boats are safe and comfortable. Our dives are guided by knowledgeable instructors who brief you on what to expect to see before you enter the water. Encounters with dolphin, turtles, and manta rays are common in the placid Kona waters.
