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!
