About this experience

Big Island Scuba Diving

Your Big Island Scuba Dive

Scuba diving on the Big Island changes with the coast. Hilo dives bring reef areas, shore entries, Sea Turtle Cove and night water, while Kona-side tours can pair clear reef water with extra support for guests who are newer to snorkeling or ocean time.

Hilo dive options may include certified 2-tank boat dives, introductory beach scuba, certified shore dives and a 1-tank night dive. Current tour lengths range from about 3 to 5 hours, depending on whether you are booking a shore dive, boat dive, intro dive or night dive.

Match the tour to your certification level first. Certified divers can look at Hilo boat, shore and night dives, while non-certified guests should choose an introductory scuba option. Check health rules, included gear, dive depth, check-in time and ocean conditions before booking.
