Private guests dive in premium Waihana wetsuits with long-blade freedive fins, low-volume masks, and 90–120cm Aimrite spearguns — the same gear serious spearos buy.
Whether it’s our world-class intro or a custom session tailored to your existing skills, private dives are the fastest way to level up.

If you’re visiting from outside Hawaiʻi and you’re 15 or older: yes. The state requires a Nonresident Recreational Marine Fishing License for all ocean fishing, spearfishing included (HAR 13-74-11). It takes a few minutes online — 1-day $20 · 7-day $40 · annual $70 — and the digital license on your phone is your proof. Buy it before your dive at fishing.hawaii.gov. Hawaiʻi residents, kids under 15, and active-duty military with their minor children are exempt.
You should be comfortable snorkeling in the open ocean. Beyond that, none. Your guide provides complete land and water training, and the one-on-one format is the fastest way for a total beginner to land their first fish.
Kona sits in the wind shadow of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa, so conditions are calm and clear nearly year-round. If we ever have to cancel for conditions, we contact you directly and you choose: a free reschedule or a full refund.
Complete customization, premium locations reserved for private clients, undivided guide attention, flexible scheduling, and enhanced photo documentation.
Guests consistently report faster learning, higher success rates, and more meaningful experiences. If you want maximum quality and personalization, yes.
Yes — private sessions are perfect for couples, families, and small crews. Pricing: $499 solo, or $449 per person for groups of 2–8.
Absolutely — your guide tailors the session to your level, from technique refinement to local fish behavior and closely-held Kona spots.
Two private sessions daily — 6:30 and 9:30 AM. Mornings, when the water is best.
