Diving Charters in Hawaii with Kohala Divers.

Boat Charters

Join us on Kohala Diver, our 42’ coast guard certified custom-built dive boat. While we are licensed for 24 passengers we will never take more than 15 guests. In the water we have no more than 6 divers per guide. We like to keep it personal and comfortable for everyone.

Underwater Lava Tubes on the Kohala CoastThe sites we visit range from 15 to 80 feet on a gently sloping reef. Our sites are ideal for any and all levels of experience and we welcome certified divers, advanced certified divers, snorkelers and students. Once aboard Kohala Diver you are just one giant stride away from a truly amazing ocean experience!

Charters on Kohala Diver

All charters include tanks and weights.

Daily two-tank dive trip: $119
This is our most popular charter. Conditions are generally calmest in the morning so we meet at 7:30 am, do two relaxing dives with an hour surface interval, and return between 12:30 and 1 p.m.

3-tank Long Range charter: $219
This option is especially great for our returning guests that want to see a bit beyond our normal range of fantastic sights! We go a little further from the dock and usually do some exploratory dives in uncharted dive areas! Includes lunch and returns between 3 and 4:30pm. (By request, or check our calendar for upcoming trips!!)

SCUBA Diving with Kohala Divers1 Tank afternoon dive: $89
If you are short on time or here on business but just have to get wet, we can accommodate! We meet at 1:30pm and return around 4pm. This will whet your appetite to come again!

2 Tank afternoon/night dive trip: $129
We start with a twilight dive and watch as the daytime shift scurries around and traffic-jams with others that are getting ready to call it a day. After a surface interval we return to see the different world the ocean becomes in darkness! Starting between 3:30 and 4:30pm seasonally. (By request or check our calendar for upcoming scheduled full moon night dives!)

1 Tank night dive: $99
All the fun of night time exploration in one dive excursion. (Times vary seasonally)
