Comments Chose Kona Diving Co. based on Undercurrent reviews, especially the one by Blue McRight #6153, July 2011. Everything in that review was correct. Best diving operation we've experienced -- so well organized, special attention, great attitude. They provide more than one dive master on each dive,split divers into groups, and provide separate detailed dive briefings. Great idea. They provide food, hot & cold drinks, warm water shower, and the best brownies in the world. Our first time to dive in Hawaii, so it was exciting to see so many new fish. Dive masters pointed out several rare fish. On one dive we were able to hear a whale song. Highlight was the manta night dive - looking forward to doing it again with Kona Diving. Special thanks to Kerry, Luke, and Shaggy.
