Big Island Divers

For guests drawn to the beauty of Hawaiʻi’s underwater world, Big Island Divers offers unforgettable ocean experiences along the Kona Coast — from vibrant coral reef snorkeling to world-famous manta ray night dives. Whether you are an experienced diver or simply curious to explore the clear Pacific waters for the first time, this is a memorable way to experience the island from a completely different perspective.

It’s especially wonderful for guests who enjoy marine life, ocean adventure, and the peaceful feeling of being out on the water surrounded by Hawaiʻi’s natural beauty.

About the Experience

Big Island Divers is located in Kailua-Kona, approximately 45 to 50 minutes from Hale Mele by car along the scenic Hawaiʻi Belt Road. The company offers daily SCUBA diving charters, snorkeling excursions, gear rentals, and specialty night dives along the Kona Coast.

The Big Island is known worldwide for its clear water, lava-formed underwater landscapes, coral reefs, and abundant marine life. Guests joining a snorkeling or diving excursion may encounter colorful tropical fish, coral gardens, sea turtles, and other ocean wildlife depending on conditions and the season.

One of the company’s most popular experiences is the manta ray night dive and snorkel, where guests can observe graceful manta rays gliding through illuminated waters after sunset. For more advanced divers, Big Island Divers also offers blackwater night dives — a unique Kona experience exploring the open ocean at night.

In addition to tours, the company operates one of the island’s largest dive shops, offering snorkeling and SCUBA equipment rentals for guests planning their own ocean adventures during their stay.

Big Island Divers offers guests a chance to experience those unforgettable moments before returning home to the calm comfort of Hale Mele.
