Black Water Dive Ecoadventure

Witness the majestic Humpback Whales, as they become temporary Kama'aina in the warm waters of the Hawaiian Islands. The Hawaiian Kona Coast is home to over 240 resident Manta Rays and each has been identified and named. Manta Rays have distinguishing black and white markings on their underside that are used to identify them nightly. These gentle giants can grow up to 16 feet in length and weigh up to 1600 pounds, but they have nothing that bites or stings, making this the safest large animal encounter in the world. Groups of Manta Rays converge nightly off of Makako Bay (Garden Eel Cove), to feed on the Phytoplankton & Zooplankton that appear to soak up the glow given off by underwater dive lights. Enjoy a scenic sunset boat ride along the Kona coast to the manta location. Dive the depths of the deep, dark ocean at night and witness the radiant creatures that glow and swim in the dark.
