FEEL THE MANTA MAGIC

Bria Lipe

We did a combo snorkel/scuba manta ray night dive, which was great to let everyone be together while doing their thing. The dive master, calypso, was great with my son, a young and not very experienced diver. She gave him space, but she also had our backs. The snorkel guide, Gordon, was also amazing. Whatever interaction he had with my youngest 11 year-old son, Gordon, made my son feel like he'd made a real friend. He gave my son this huge confidence boost in the water, something he could really use. My youngest said this was the best day of his life and he can't wait to take scuba lessons.

One Tank Manta Night Dive or Snorkel

The Big Island of Hawaii offers exceptional underwater adventures, with the One Tank Manta Night Dive or Snorkel in Kona being a highlight.

Descend into the ocean at sunset, where lights attract plankton and manta rays, showcasing their graceful feeding ballet. Kona’s clear waters and frequent manta sightings make it ideal for this night dive or snorkel.
