Overall Rating

I had looked forward for some time to doing a night dive on the Kona coast
to see manta rays.  There are a number of dive operations in the  area, and
I had researched beforehand in the Chapbook to see which was the best. 
Kona Honu particularly appealed to me because reviewers said this was not a
cattle boat.  WRONG!  The boat was a nice 48 footer, and the crew was
capable and helpful, but 6 crew, 19 divers AND 9 snorkelers did not make
for a fun experience.  On the other hand the night dive with the mantas was
religious--5 or more mantas at one time, many coming within arm's reach
(but don't touch!).  I'd suggest making reservations with them but checking
the number of bookings before going out so you can cancel without penalty.
