Only one dive in Hawaii (Big Island). Where?

I only wish that someone else in the group that'll be vacationing with us were certified:depressed:. They don't know what they're missing.

Most , if not all, operations that do the manta dive take snorkelers as well. Said to be almost as good a show as the divers get. It is very shallow (30-40'?) and the way the mantas do vertical loops, probably come close to the surface. They will be lit from underneath, probably a cool show.

You might ask your group if they are interested?

Get 'em snorkeling for a day or two then talk them into snorkeling the manta dive. Assuming the mantas are there at the time, they'll be wowed.
