Wanna Dive Kona

History

After working as a scuba instructor for other companies, I started doing shore dive guiding and instruction on my own. In 2003 I bought the boat and started building the boat business. In 2007 we took the boat out of service for several months for a complete rebuild and remodel, and it's been steady charters since. We're a small company. We typically have all of 3-4 employees. Dive with us for several days and it won't be a merry-go-round of new guides to get familiar with each day. I've been leading dives here since '99, and I try to hire crew with similar or greater experience. Our office is located across the highway from Honokohau Marina (the main harbor for most of the dive boats in Kona) above the Tesoro gas station. We can meet there for paperwork and gear sizing, or meet at the boat for the same... no need to go into town before charters. Join us and let us share our enthusiasm for diving with you!
