Blue Wilderness Dive Adventures Corp. - Hawaii
The team at Blue Wilderness Dive Adventures Corp. are your go-to for experiencing the Big Island’s big stuff. We love their focus on personalizing trips, which really shines when you’re chasing specific encounters. You’ll find them specializing in getting you up close with manta rays, especially during those incredible night dives, but they also run some cracking daytime trips focusing on lava tubes and unique reef topography. If you're after a more intimate dive experience away from the big boat crowds, this is definitely one to bookmark. Our favourite time to dive with them for the manta night dive is around the new moon; the darker skies really make those mantas pop in your torch beam. We’ve seen pods of spinner dolphins on the surface on our way out to dive sites with them, a real bonus. Below, you’re often drifting over volcanic rock formations, spotting turtles tucked into crevices and parrotfish grazing on the algae. Visibility can be epic here, sometimes pushing 30 metres, which makes those lava tubes feel even more cavernous. They keep groups small, which means less fin-kicking chaos and more time just soaking it all in. We’d suggest booking your manta dive early in your trip, just in case conditions mean you need to reschedule.
