Wanna Dive is a small scuba charter business specializing in DAILY BOAT DIVE CHARTERS, dive instruction and AWESOME MANTA RAY NIGHT DIVES, in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii.  Our goal is to provide personalized service to individuals or small groups (Our boat takes a maximum of 6 passengers, and we'll go with as few as two divers) and to have some fun while doing it.  If you are looking for scuba diving instruction, a private dive guide or personalized service from a dive operator, then you've come to the right spot.

Meet the crew:

Cathy- Scuba Instructor and US Coast Guard licensed Captain. Leading dives in Kona since the 70's!

Steve- Owner, Scuba Instructor and US Coast Guard licensed Captain. Leading dives in Kona since '99.

Bob- Scuba Instructor and US Coast Guard licensed Captain.  Leading dives on Oahu and in Kona since '96.

We know the sites, we know the critters.  Let us share our love of diving with you!

Small charters and only 3 regular crew means we'll get to know what you're looking for over the course of your dive trip.  Instead of being one of a crowd, you can have the dives catered to you (within reason of course).

 

We enjoy meeting new people and sharing what Kona has to offer underwater.  Feel free to browse through this site to find out more about my scuba business, and Kona above and below the water.  In this site you'll see lots of underwater photos, taken on dives we offer, and also information on the Big Island and non-diving activities such as watching dolphins, some Kona beach info, and Kona restaurants.
