Welcome to the Kohala Coast of Hawaii
The Kohala Coast is a unique place in the world. Where else can you enjoy 76-80 degree ocean water while gazing at a majestic snow capped Mauna Kea Mountain? Mauna Kea Volcano rises 13,796 feet (4,205 meters) above sea level but extends about 19,700 feet (6,000 meters) below sea level to meet the deep ocean floor.
Surfacing from a Scuba Dive in warm tropical ocean water to this beautiful scene is something to remember.
Another amazing thing about scuba diving on the Kohala Coast in the winter is the Humpback whales that migrate through the Hawaiian Islands each winter. During the winter breeding season, more than 12,000 Humpback whales visit Hawaiian waters. The Kohala Coast is one of the most popular areas for the whales to stay with their young because of its shallow protected bays. 
When Scuba diving in Hawaii from December through about May we are often serenaded by the songs of humpback whales. The sounds vary in volume and tone but are always amazing to be immersed in.
Our morning dive and snorkel trips visit 2 beautiful sites each morning and we do an hour surface interval in between the dives. Often the surface interval is as entertaining as the dives themselves. We are often visited by frolicking spinner dolphins year round on the Kohala Coast. During our winter months in Hawaii we get some of our most incredible whale encounters as we slowly cruise between our dive sites. The dolphins and whales are often spotted together interacting with each other during these winter months.
