Dive Review of
Big Island Water Sports/cruise in
Hawaii/Kona

Caribbean, Florida

Dive Conditions

Overall Rating

Due to our arrival time, on a cruise, we had no option other than to use
the cruise ship dive operation, as most independent operators leave early.
Although the dive operation itself was good, there was the normal problem
in diving with a cruise, too many inexperienced divers, preventing the
divemaster from doing much of anything other than preventing them from
getting lost or drowning. We were generally, having done many dives in the
Caribbean, disappointed with the diving due to a lack or corals and
gorgonians, and just the overall underwater topography. We dove Golden
Arches and Golden Eel sites, and did get to see fishes we don’t normally
see in Florida or the Caribbean, such as Picasso triggers, Kole &
yellow tangs, Bird Nose wrasses, a school of needlefish, and also a Crown
of thorns, and some variations of other fishes. Black sand was unusual, and
the Hawaiian Islands are beautiful, and well worth a visit, but I wouldn’t
make this trip for the diving.
