The underwater world off the Big Island's Kona Coast is known as a premier destination for SCUBA divers. Any why not? Its calm, crystal clear water, protected from standard trade-wind patterns by two sprawling mountain masses, often allows visibility in excess of 100 feet making the view of the spectacular marine landscape and its teeming sea life a diver's dream.

There are hundreds of diving spots along the coast and no lack of diving companies ready to be of service, but if the closest you've come to diving is a leap off a board into a swimming pool, you're going to need a few lessons.
