Great crew and captain. Thank you Chad, Avi, and Chris!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We dived with Big Island Divers for 4 days and it was great! Really helpful and safe guides (Kaitlyn, Lauren, Fernando, Holly) and such great dive sites. Will definitely dive with them again.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Lauren Kaitlyn and Capn' Rory were all awesome and super helpful. My wife had some anxiety issues but Lauren helped her calm down and continue the dive. Great people.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The night dive with Big Island Divers was absolutely amazing! I was a diver and my wife a snorkeler so it was nice to be on a boat that accommodated both. The staff was very friendly and helpful and always safe. I've seen mantas in the water before but never like this! Thank you to the team for an unforgettable experience!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Here’s a tighter version: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Two dives in, totally hooked — Big Island Divers delivers! We did a two-tank day dive and a manta ray night dive with Big Island Divers and both were absolutely incredible. Captains Rory and Mika handled the boat and topside support flawlessly, keeping everything running smoothly from start to finish. Divemaster Natalie was attentive and skilled, making both dives feel safe and exciting. But the star of the show was Hailey — her energy, expertise, and love for the ocean made every moment underwater unforgettable. The manta ray night dive was one of the most magical experiences of our lives, and she made it even better. If you’re in Kona, don’t think twice. Book Big Island Divers, and ask for Hailey and you’ll also make Hailey’s Mom happy! Yes, we met her mom on our second dive!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. First time experience had the time of a life time.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Our first night manta snorkel with Big Island Divers was 3 years ago, and we saw 3 mantas, which is rather normal. This was our 2nd time to do the night manta snorkel dive with Big Island Divers on 5/11/2026 to celebrate our 48th wedding anniversary (we are 72 years old.) The Captain and Crew were focused on safety at all times, very much appreciated. Mantas are creatures of the sea, so there are no guarantees to see them and no such thing as being in the right spot. They either come or they don't. On this dive, THEY CAME. Chris, our snorkel guy, was just as jazzed as everyone else at the numbers of mantas that appeared and stayed to enjoy the plankton feast. It was an incredible experience. Also, Chris was focused on the safety and comfort of our group, regularly asking if anyone was too cold to stay out or uncomfortable in any way. This is truly a unique Big Island experience. Go see the mantas with Big Island Divers. It will be a memory to treasure.Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The trip with captain Micha, snorkel guide jack and diving guide Natalie was ONCE IN A LIFE TIME. PHENOMENAL!!Posted on GoogleTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We were on the manta night dive tour, May 19th. Amazing dive, up to 5 mantas feeding just in front of us. The crew was very nice and professional: thank you Avi, Fernando and Rory. Some facts about our tour : 5 divers and 9 snorkelers on board: plenty of room on the boat. Good briefings, on the manta, before the ride and before the dive. "No touching the manta" policy very clear and strict. The dive itself: You go in the water, kick for 1 minute, and sit around the "campfire" : divers gathered around powerful lights. Enjoy the show (no idea how long, felt long enough). And back to the boat. Quick thought: this kind of "feeding" dives feels very artificial. However, this experience was breathtaking, and very unlikely without all the set-up.Posted on Google
