Hawaii—About the Kona Aggressor II

Eat. Sleep. Dive. The typical Aggressor SCUBA cruise itinerary revolves around one goal, maximum bottom time. Most dive schedules permit four, five, possibly six dives each day with delicious meals and snacks served in between.

Here’s a sample of a week aboard the Kona Aggressor II:

  • Board the boat Saturday evening, followed by dinner and the Captain’s briefing.
  • Sunday morning, diving briefing, then the first dive of many dives, including night dives.
  • Between dive snacks, meals, soft beverages, local beer
  • and wine are included.
  • Diving ends Friday before lunch.
  • The boat returns to port Friday at lunch for shopping
  • and sight-seeing.
  • Guests return to the boat for an afternoon cocktail party. Dinner is not served on board Friday, however, the crew can recommend a local restaurant.
  • After a good night’s rest, everyone says good-bye at the Saturday morning check-out.
  • Transportation to the local airport is provided.

The AGGRESSOR moors right over the dive site, so unlimited diving is just one giant stride off the swim platform. With water temperatures ranging from around 80° F and a light surge with no currents, Hawaii’s waters are suitable for all divers.

Hawaii’s Kona Coast
Lava tubes. Coral gardens. Indigenous species.

“Eat, dive, sleep” is the motto of liveaboards. Could there be anything better? We don’t think so, that’s why we’ve chartered the Kona Aggressor II for seven days of diving, eating, sleeping and more diving! We’re excited to announce that Corey, our store manager, will be leading this trip. She’s fondly known by many as “flipper chic.” Kona is known for dolphins, and she isn’t going to miss out on the opportunity to snorkel with the spinners! Most divers find themselves in the water four or five times a day. Remember, you are on a floating resort, only one giant stride away from colorful reefs crowded with spectacular life. Water temperature is around 80°. The lava that oozed for decades has created remarkable arches and underwater formations that is now home for many indigenous critters found only in these waters. It’s a photographer’s haven.

A highlight of the trip includes a visit to “Manta Ray Village,” where the crew lowers large lights into the water to attract plankton, which in turn attracts the manta rays. This night dive will be like no other you’ve ever done.

So don’t delay in signing up for this trip, you could be swimming with spinner dolphins, cruising with turtles and enjoying the end of your summer as you live the life style of the rich and famous! Cost is only $2,095 (excluding airfare), and space is limited.
