Garden Eel Cove
★★★★★
(1,440)
This is THE place to night dive with manta rays. One of the most famous dives in Kona allows you to kneel on the bottom in about 35 feet of water in the dark of night while a huge light is set in the middle of all the divers that attract phytoplankton and krill so the mantas swoop in right over you to feed.
This dive is all about the huge manta rays! You may also see some eagle rays that come in the mix and some nice coral.
