Kona Manta Night Dive

About this site

Consistently rated one of the best night dives in the world. Divers gather on the sandy bottom and shine lights upward to attract plankton, which in turn attracts massive manta rays that perform barrel rolls within inches of divers. An unforgettable, world-class wildlife encounter.
