2 Tank Boat Dive (Certified) - Hilo Horizons

🐢 Hilo Ocean Adventures - 2 Tank Boat Dive (Certified) - Hilo Horizons

Discover Hilo’s hidden underwater world on the only commercial dive and snorkel boat in Hilo Bay! Join Hilo Ocean Adventures aboard a 28-foot dive vessel for a thrilling 2-tank certified boat dive to remote reef sites teeming with marine life.

Departing from Hilo, you’ll travel approximately 30 minutes offshore to two pristine, rarely accessed dive sites—often in secluded coves like Sea Turtle Cove and vibrant tropical reefs along the island’s untouched coastline. These sites feature dramatic reef walls, rock formations, and a diverse array of underwater life that flourishes thanks to minimal human contact.

Each stop offers up to 45 minutes of bottom time, with frequent sightings of green sea turtles, moray eels, urchins, reef fish, and healthy coral gardens. Between dives, enjoy breathtaking views of Hilo’s lush coast - sometimes accompanied by playful pods of dolphins!
