45 minutes of classroom, 45 minutes of pool, and then 2 tank open water dive off our ocean faring boat Moana Mea A‘a for an approximate total of 5 hours.

Our professionally trained dive masters will take you on a guided tour of Hilo’s best reefs during your open water dive off.

What to Expect

Our tour includes a 45 minute course, where you’ll get a safety briefing, learn underwater breathing techniques and gain insight on how your equipment works from an expert SCUBA instructor.

You’ll follow up your safety briefing with another 45-minute learning session, where you’ll hop in an indoor heated pool to test out your new skills before departing from the downtown Hilo location of Wailoa Boat Harbor to venture beyond the break wall on a 45 minute cruise on a 28-foot boat to your first dive spot, where you may come across dolphin pods and view the majestic underwater structures of the ancient volcanic caldera, including caves, single lava arches, a sand bottom 60 feet below.

You’ll also enjoy a light snack and fruit juice before heading to two different dive spots for 45 minute scuba diving at each location. Here you’ll see turtles, parrotfish, manta rays and more. With so many learning opportunities and chances to see marine life, this is the perfect tour for non-certified divers and aquatic life enthusiasts.

Dive into a second diving location to experience Hilo Bay’s abundant aquatic life, including sleeping cave sharks, angelfish, tangs and more Hawaiian green sea turtle, which you’ll find the most in Hilo, more than any other location in Hawaii. Watch tangs clean the sea turtles’ shells at the turtle cleaning station before heading back to your port destination.

Whether you’re looking forward to meeting up with manta rays or seeing the sea turtles, this exciting underwater excursion offers a ton to do and see for the ultimate underwater experience. Sign up for your SCUBA diving sea adventure and get ready to explore the underwater world of Hilo Bay!
