Second trip out with the aquatic life divers.. after doing the morning 2- tank dive i had to go back for the manta ray dive.. And i was not disappointed as it was an otherworldly experience. The Valkyrie crew was fun and entertaining while also being very knowledgeable about the manta ray population around the Kona region. Once again i would highly recommend Aquatic life divers to anyone interested in a small group personal dive experience,

We did the night-time "snorlel with the manta ray" tour. It was definitely an adventure. The crew and captain were incredible. The tour is a blast but be ready for cold temps, rough seas and adventrue. You only live once, so definitley plan it!

We thoroughly enjoyed the night snorkeling. A very different experience than day time snorkeling. The staff was very a knowledgeable and helpful! The comfortable ride and the many mana rays that we encountered. So glad we decided to take this excursion. Two individuals in our group actually went scuba diving with the same company and were well satisfied with those trips as well.

We had an amazing experience with Aquatic Life Divers in Kona! We did the 2-tank dive, including the manta ray night dive, and it was unforgettable. Captain Colin was excellent—professional, safe, and welcoming. Dive master Gordon was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the dives both fun and educational. The manta ray dive was truly magical and something we’ll never forget. Everything was well-organized, safe, and enjoyable. Highly recommend Aquatic Life Divers if you’re looking for a top-notch dive shop in Kona! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

I had the most fantastic experience with aquatic life divers! I went out with Carlos, Marley, and Gordon, and they were super professional, friendly, and knowledgeable! I can’t wait to go back out with them again, and seeing all the manta rays was UNREAL!! Truly one of the best dives of my life!
