These are the random blabberings of a guy who owned "WANNA DIVE", a dive charter formerly in Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. In this blog I might talk about Kona, I might talk about scuba diving, I might just ramble....

What can you see scuba diving in Kona Hawaii?
Here's a wonderful photo of a Longnose Hawkfish we've been watching over time sent to me by one of our customers. These are one of my favorite fish back from my aquarium shop days. I don't happen to have a photo of one, I'm thrilled they got this fantastic shot.
This post will be unlike others I've done. I was looking at their photos and thinking about how much variety of critters and types of diving we typically do over the course of 3-4 days... and thought I'd give you just a taste of it from a customer that was on the boat for 4 charters. We try to mix up the diving when we have people on for several days. The photos here are unedited and posted at a low resolution to save some space.... it's just a few of the many photos they took, don't even have shots of the whaleshark or dolphins they saw underwater on one dive... Thanks for the photos Roman....
There are tons of critters and sites to see when scuba diving, it's easy to pack a lot of variety into a few short dives in Kona.
Aloha,
Steve

Thank you Steve for the nice dives in Kona. Regards Nicole & Roman
It was a pleasure having you on board. Thanks again for allowing me to post the photos.
Aloha,

Awesome! How is the stability of the coral reefs there? Here it's not very promising.
The hard corals in Kona are pretty good. A little disease here and there, but overall healthy. We had a marine biologist from Oahu on board the other day that was amazed. She'd dove the Great Barrier Reef, parts of the Carribean, Fernando de Naronha and Oahu (of course) and she said she'd never seen so many hard corals in one spot. It was a good dive site.
Kona pretty much has the best overall reef in the major Hawaiian Islands.
