Big Island Kona Hawaii Manta Ray Night Dive Adventure

If you're into scuba diving - this will be one of the greatest adventures you will ever, EVER experience. Imagine yourself and a group of others, at night, knealing on a sandy bottom in about thirty feet of water - flashlights pointing upwards towards the surface to attract plankton.

Then -- and sometimes quite surprisingly -- giant illuminated Manta Rays up to sixteen feet wide and weighing up to 1600 pounds, start looping around and around over your head as they feed their faces in an endless ballet of dinnertime dance theatrics.

The scene is reminiscent of "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" with all the flashlights beaming upwards and strange creatures appearing from out of the darkness like visitors from another planet.

You will totally enjoy every moment -- from the time you dive in -- until you have to come up because you are running out of air. If you ask anyone who has done this amazing dive, they will tell you it's a must when you are in Kona Hawaii.

I highly recommend Jacks diving locker for the best and friendliest service on the Big Island.

Enjoy!
