The Ocean, Perfected.

Signature Morning Dive

Two Tank Morning Reef Dive

Explore the top two dives in Kona for an unforgettable Big Island marine experience.

 

With over 40 spectacular dive sites suitable for all skill levels, including snorkelers.

The volcanic islands of Hawaii are filled with lava tubes, caves, and deep walls - and Big Island has it all!

 

Hawaii also has the highest level of endemic species on the planet.

 

Join us today to discover the best reefs Kona has to offer!

To truly connect with the spirit of Kona, one must journey with purpose and intention. We conceived our fleet not as dive boats, but as sophisticated instruments of exploration, designed to unlock the most pristine and secluded corners of our coast.

Step aboard and feel the immediate difference. The twin hulls of our Armstrong catamarans offer a profoundly stable and quiet passage, allowing you to converse and relax in serene comfort as we cruise toward uncrowded sites.

 

The deck is your private stage—for gearing up in uncluttered space, for analyzing footage on our dedicated camera tables, or for simply gazing into the deep blue with a sense of profound peace.

Every detail, from the fully-integrated shade to the intuitive service of our crew, is designed to remove friction, allowing you to focus solely on the transformative experience of the world beneath the waves.

Highly recommended! Spacious, well designed boat. Captains Tara and Austin were professional, friendly and capable. Dive masters Mary and Calypso were fantastic as well . Both were very knowledgeable and great with me on boat and in water. I've been diving for 40+ years and this is the most well run operation I've encountered.
