Comments	We have dived with nine or ten different Kona operators, and Blue Wilderness is one of the best we have found, especially if you are staying in the Waikoloa area. They are located in Queen's Marketplace, and launch a few miles north at Paniao. We found the coral, fish, and invertebrates much better in this area than the Kailua dive locations. At one point we were diving lava tubes with whales "talking" a hundred or so yards away. The tubes amplified the sound, and it was magical. Turtle cleaning stations, lots to see, good operation. Also was able to get a good shot of a devil scorpionfish. One of the best three days of diving with them that we have had on Kona coast. Have not seen a review of this operation, and decided to post one.
