2-tank Manta Ray Night Charter

2-tank Manta Ray Night Charter

Consistently ranked as one of the best dives worldwide, this night dive lets you witness manta rays feeding gracefully at Makako Bay (Garden Eel Cove). The experience begins with a late afternoon dive where guides highlight unique marine life such as Hawaiian Garden Eels and set bright lights to attract plankton for the night dive.

After a surface interval at sunset, guides provide detailed briefings on manta ray behavior to prepare divers for the mesmerizing night dive. Using bright lights, divers watch manta rays gulp plankton in a captivating underwater ballet, sometimes swimming just inches above them.

Groups are kept small with a maximum of 5 divers per PADI professional to ensure safety and personalized attention. All charters include air tanks, dive weights, dive lights, defog, and complimentary use of masks, snorkels, and fins.
