Are you ready for some sunshine?


The SCUBA diving is amazing!
I LOVE The Big Island of Hawaii and its world-class diving off the Kona/Kohala Coast. It is perfect! We fly into the open air airport and walk off our plane into the warm sunshine.  Pick up our rental car, stock up at costco and head for our Villa in Waikoloa.  Because it is protected from trade winds by the island's two mountain masses, the ocean is typically calm, the weather sunny, and visibility generally in the 100-foot range.

Some dive companies conduct night dives in locations where giant manta rays are commonly spotted. My wife and I went on a night dive with the Manta Rays and we can tell you, it is one of the most amazing experiences!

As you sit on the bottom of the ocean, the spot lights in the center bring in the plankton which start funneling into a whirling tornado in front of you, next thing you see is the huge ghostly object gliding toward you as you feel your heart rate go up! They open their huge, toothless mouths, gliding, pivoting and somersaulting through the tornado of plankton to fead.
