Venture beyond the break wall on a 45 minute cruise on a 28-foot boat to your first dive spot, where you may come across dolphin pods and view the majestic underwater structures of the ancient volcanic caldera, including caves, single lava arches, a sand bottom 60 feet below. Dive into a second diving location to experience Hilo Bay’s abundant aquatic life, including sleeping cave sharks, angelfish, tangs and the Hawaiian green sea turtle, which you’ll find the most in Hilo, more than any other location in Hawaii. Watch tangs clean the sea turtles’ shells at the turtle cleaning station before heading back to your port destination.
