Kohala Divers is a great small dive operation working the Kohala COast. If
you're staying in the condos north of Kona (or Puako rentals, as we did),
this is the place to dive. They often do Puako AWESOME), or sites north of
Kawaihae harbor which the Kona resorts would have a long boat ride to see.
We were v. impressed w/ how their divermaster worked w/ two kids getting
certified. The rest of the crew was helpful, informative, very nice, and
generally took us to some interesting sites. THe caveat was that we went
right after the big earthquake, so some sites were damaged that they hadn't
had a chance to visit yet. Silting and broken corals were the main damage.


Kohala Divers also rents tanks and other gear if you want to do your own
shore diving. They gave us great service and wonderful tips for good spots
at Puako. We'll be back.
