The Worlds Best Scuba Diving - Big Island


The island of Hawai'i, also called the Big Island, is home to some of the most fantastic scuba diving on the planet. More than 600 species of reef fish and frequent encounters with larger aquatic animals add to the excitement of diving in an underwater volcanic landscape that in itself is magical enough. Particularly popular is night diving with huge manta rays at Manta Ray Village.

"What makes Big Island diving even more exciting is how quickly the ocean goes from shallow to very deep. Because the island is composed of volcanoes rising from the seafloor, its near-shore aprons of submerged lava rock and coral reefs quickly drop off into the abyss." (Bigisland.org)
