Manta Ray Night Dive In Kona

Swim with Manta Rays in Kona

Join us for an evening of entertainment with a Manta Ray dive. On the dive you descend into darkness and in the beam of your light watch the nightlife come alive. Observe in awe as Manta Rays glide in from the darkness to feed on the microscopic plankton attracted to your light. You may also follow a hunting moray as it searches for its next meal. Watch as he attacks an unsuspecting tang, twists his body in a knot and swallows the fish. Visit shy shrimp, crabs, delicate nudibranchs and sleeping fish. It’s a wonderful way to spend the evening and enjoy Kona’s nightlife at its best!

Guidelines

OBSERVE ONLY	No touching. Resist the urge to “pet” the mantas. This will rub off their protective mucus coating. Do not chase, grab, or try to take a ride on the mantas. This doesn’t benefit the animal in anyway.
DIVER POSITION	Divers must stay on or near the sand, rubble or boulder bottom. An open water column is necessary for the mantas to maneuver. Avoid contact with coral, sea urchins, or other marine life. Form a semi-circle with your group.
SNORKELER POSITION	Snorkelers must stay on the surface and keep legs horizontal. Do not dive down into the water column.
LIGHTS	Divers please shine lights up into the water column to attract plankton. Snorkelers please shine lights down.
BUBBLES	Divers try to time your breathing so that you don’t blow bubbles up into the manta if it’s passes over your head.
TAKING PHOTOS or VIDEO	When taking underwater photos or video, be considerate of people and mantas. Minimize your equipment in the water column and let the mantas come to you.These guidelines were first established in 1993 by manta dive operators in Kona, Hawaii. Reviewed again in 2013 by manta tour operators (dive and snorkel operators).

Manta Guarantee

While we see mantas about 85% of the time, they are wild animals and their appearance is beyond our control. If you don’t see a manta on your night out, you can go again on another night on a space available, standby basis. Keep in mind that these spaces may be very limited, especially during the busiest times of the year. However, the offer never expires but is non-transferrable and has no refund or cash value.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big are manta rays?

Reef manta rays (Mobula alfredi) are the species that frequent these waters and have an average wingspan of about 10 feet. They have been known to reach 18 feet in length from wingtip to wingtip!
Do I need to be certified to dive with manta rays?

To scuba dive, you will need a basic scuba certification. Don’t worry if you don’t have one; you can snorkel with the manta rays instead. This option is terrific as well because you will be looking down from the surface where the manta rays are swimming to feed on plankton.
Am I guaranteed to see manta rays?

Unfortunately, no, they are wild animals and can sometimes be unpredictable in when they appear. However, if you don’t see them on your evening with us, you can join us again (on a stand-by basis) for another chance at spotting them!
Are the Manta Rays dangerous?

No the Manta Ray’s are friendly and used to divers & snorkelers being in this area.
Do we dive from the shore or from a boat?

The manta ray night dive occurs from a boat. It takes about 20 minutes to get to the dive location once we leave the harbor.
