Deep Waters West of Kona is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Kailua-Kona, HI. This dive site has an average rating of 5.00 out of 5 from 2 scuba divers. The maximum depth is over 150ft/46m. The average visibility is 51-60ft/16-18m.

This is a night dive where the boat (Neptune Charlie) takes you into deep water (>2000 ft and 5 miles off shore) and you hang from drag lines (~40-60 ft down the lines). Lots of little translucent creatures swimming the dark water but also larger creatures like jellyfish and squids.

VladMTL - 7/02/2018 5:08 AM I went scuba diving here on 6/29/2018. Average viz: Under 5ft/2m. Water temp: 71-75°F/22-24°C. Deepwater dive with Big Island Divers. Middle of the night, 3 miles off the shore, you see lots of creatures that you do not see during the day! You need to do this dive once, the experience is amazing! You are tied to the boat with a rope .. but the water depth where you are is 5,000 ft+
