The Big Island's volcanic underwater topography is a diver's wonderland. Lava tubes, bommies, arches and huge craters like “Au Au Crater,” create a spectacular backdrop for Hawaii’s many indigenous species of buttlerfly fish. Photographers will delight in the many patient subjects like Spanish Dancers, turtles, mantas and frogfish. The standard Kona Aggressor II scuba itinerary is Saturday-to-Saturday with five and one-half days of diving. Guests may  board Saturday at 5:30 p.m. Dinner is served on board Saturday evening followed by the Captain’s briefing. Friday afternoon, the Kona Aggressor II returns to Kailua-Kona Bay. Guests may spend the afternoon shopping, sight seeing or just relaxing on board until the evening cocktail party hosted by the crew. After the party, everyone will dine at a local restaurant. This is the only meal not included in the charter. Saturday morning check-out is 8:00 a.m.
The Kona Aggressor II is built to U.S. Coast Guard and A.B.S. standards with a full complement of safety equipment. Hawaii has been an Aggressor Fleet destination since 1989.
