As this is the company’s only commercial dive and snorkel boat, this is undoubtedly one of Hilo Ocean Adventures’ top-rated and most sought after tours among travelers and locals alike. Come and join the 2-Tank Certified Boat Dive for a sightseeing experience and underwater adventure you and your companions will never forget!

For this tour, you and your tour group will be riding Hilo Ocean Adventures’ 28-foot ocean faring vessel, a high-powered boat built with the necessary features and amenities for that easy and comfortable boat dive! This boat will bring you to two snorkel and dive sites outside the bay, where you will be treated to a tropical spectacle! In the cruise alone, you will already get to relish Hilo’s beautiful seascape, with its crystal clear waters and lush coastlines in the background. 

As the boat has a wide view deck, you will get to feast your eyes on this breathtaking scene, as well as bask in the bright Hawaiian sunshine! This is not the highlight of the tour just yet, but this surely is an enjoyable moment on its own. 

Once the boat arrives at your designated dive location, which is just around 30 minutes away from the shore, the real adventure begins! Whether you opt to go snorkeling or scuba diving, you will most certainly enjoy the stunning views underwater. Prepare to catch sight of pristine and well preserved reef walls and rock formations, where green sea turtles, tropical reef fish, dolphins, and other precious marine animals frequent. As the reefs outside the bay are not as explored and usually accessed, the underwater life around this area is vibrant and very much thriving. Expectedly, you and your companions will practice responsible snorkeling and diving, so as to keep the place as clean, safe, and untainted.

After around 45 minutes of pure underwater fun, you will head on to the next dive site, where everything is just as beautiful and enjoyable! This is what’s great about Hilo Ocean Adventures’ 2-Tank Certified Boat Dive–twice the sightseeing, twice the fun!
