| Once reserved for a select few, Kona Coast Divers is pleased to invite you aboard for a night dive you'll never forget. Manta Rays with 8-10 foot wing spans begin to circle the group and you realize that this is one of the most fantastic things you have ever seen! Then all of a sudden they begin to swoop in towards your group. As they gently glide past, you are within inches of a giant manta! You have become friends with one of the most gentle creatures in the sea. We call this dive MANTA RAY MADNESS. |  |

| The mantas come in to feed on the plankton, which concentrates in your underwater light beam.The manta rays will swim under, above and alongside of the divers. KCD has added to this phenomenon by providing over 400 watts of underwater lights placed on the bottom to attract plankton for the Manta Rays to feed on. We can boast a 80% chance of seeing manta rays. |  |

| Manta Ray Madness: The site is about 30 minutes from the harbor and at a depth between 30 and 50 feet. Skill Level encompasses beginners through experts. The terrain is primarily black sand with occasional coral heads. Typical marine life found in this area are garden eels, squirrel fish, goat fish, invertebrates, sleeping butterfly fish, moray eels and most of all MANTA RAYS. While cannot guarantee these wild creatures will show up every night, but our success rate is about 80%.. | ||||||||||||||||
| Some of our customers have described their manta dive experience as something right out of the movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." But this close encounter takes place in inner space and the flying saucers are alive. The type of photography we recommend on these manta dives are wide angle and video. This dive has been rated as one of the top 10 in the world. See the write-up in the "National Geographic" December 1995. | ||||||||||||||||
