Through our extensive briefings, our slow, slow underwater pace, our encyclopedia of hand signs and our ability to recognize and communicate rare and unusual animals and behaviors, we turn what might be an "ordinary" dive into a fascinating and often humorous photo of daily life on the reef.

Welcome and thank you for having a look at our website. Inside you will find lots of information about diving in Kona with Dive Makai. Kona is one of the world’s premier dive destinations and, we believe, Dive Makai is the best dive charter operator here. The reason is simple. We run a daily charter that we would like to go out on if we were on vacation. Consequently, our dives are relaxed, fun and entertaining. We run with small groups to more than fifty dive sites and with dive guides who all have extensive knowledge of our local reefs. Diving with Dive Makai is a truly memorable experience, and one we hope you will have soon.
