DIVING

Our first Love, and the reason for choosing the Big Island as our home!

The Kona coastline has long been considered the jewel of diving in all of the Hawaiian Islands. Protected by the mountains the West Coast of the Island has nearly perfect weather all year long. Average visibility ranges from 75' to 100' plus year around; temperatures vary from 75 to 85.

Boat diving is one of the best ways to experience Hawaii's underwater wilderness ,access to coral reefs, lava tubes and caverns is easily reached from the sea. A few excellent Dive operators exist in Kona (see our Favorite Links) but on board the Dorado II we offer something unique from them all.

Exclusive and totally private instruction or dive Adventures, we only take you, your family or friends. If you have not been diving for awhile, a scuba tune up is always given before your first dive. A dive site briefing, dive profile and naturalist discussion aided by our onboard library provides an insight as to what we are about to discover.

The average two tank dive requires a half day charter, a Blue Water Dive ¾ day charter and our Long-Range Dives require a full day. With the exception of a $10 fee per tank all dive gear, beverages, fresh fruits and lunch are included in the charter fee.
