CHARTERS ON KOHALA DIVER
All charters include tanks and weights.  
Daily two-tank dive trip: $129
This is our most popular charter. Conditions are generally calmest in the morning so we meet at 7:30 am, do two relaxing dives with an hour surface interval, and return between 12:30 and 1 p.m.  
3-tank Long Range charter: $229
This option is especially great for our returning guests that want to see a bit beyond our normal range of fantastic sights! We go a little further from the dock and usually do some exploratory dives in uncharted dive areas! Includes lunch and returns between 3 and 4:30pm. (By request, or check our calendar for upcoming trips!!)  
1 Tank afternoon dive: $99
If you are short on time or here on business but just have to get wet, we can accommodate! We meet at 1:30pm and return around 4pm. This will whet your appetite to come again!  
2 Tank afternoon/night dive trip: $139
We start with a twilight dive and watch as the daytime shift scurries around and traffic-jams with others that are getting ready to call it a day. After a surface interval we return to see the different world the ocean becomes in darkness! Starting between 3:30 and 4:30pm seasonally. (By request or check our calendar for upcoming scheduled full moon night dives!)  
1 Tank night dive: $119
All the fun of night time exploration in one dive excursion. (Times vary seasonally)  
Snorkel or ride along: $75 (includes equipment)
A really great way to get out on the boat and get lots of time in the water!! Dolphins are commonly sighted along with seasonal humpback whales (Dec-May). Join us on any charter!

The Kohala Coast is THE spot for whale watching as they are breeding and birthing in the many shallow bays. This show is spectacular and not to be missed! Call for availability.

"Great place to rent equipment!"

The well-trained staff can assist you in selecting the right equipment at the right price and even direct you to the coolest spots around the island. All of their rental gear is state-of-the-art with the safety of the diver foremost. Their tanks are aluminum with 3,000 PSI.
