Kona Honu Divers—serving the Big Island of Hawaii—won a clean sweep of first place Readers Choice Awards, taking top place in every category, including Quality of Staff, Quality of Training and Courses, Quality of Dive Boats and Best Overall operator in the Pacific and Indian region.
Their commitment to quality shows, starting with their spacious dive boats. They dive only in small groups, allowing for a more personalized experience. Normal trips do allow students and Discover Scuba Diving first-timers to join, but all regular divers are required to have been diving within the past two years, guaranteeing a higher standard so that everyone can get more out of their time on Hawaii’s reefs.
Divers get to dive their tank—that is, bottom time is determined by each diver’s own air consumption. An added bonus is free nitrox for nitrox-certified guests. Plus, the scuba tanks are neutrally buoyant, so guests enjoy more bottom time and a greater sense of in-water freedom to enjoy as they see fit.
