| Comments | First time with KDC. I chose this outfit based on reviews and a desire to dive a different red my Hawaiian island. Overall, very happy. The manta night dive is an experience that all divers should engage in. Two other dives on pipe dreams and eel garden were very enjoyable. All of the guides, Cody, Trixie, Emron and M were professional and very knowledgeable about the marine life. The boats were in good condition and clean. The guides were very insistent on providing full concierge service. If you were a repeat diver from day to day, they would rinse and store your bcd and regulator and have it in full st up mode when you arrived for a next day dive. This included wetsuit anc booties. This was a nice convenience. My week of diving was scheduled for 3 two AM tank dives followed by a PM dive and night dive. Due to ear pain, I sat out my third AM dive. Kona Dive Company was very generous in not charging me for those dives. Highly recommended. | ||
