Pelagic Blackwater Night Dive Suggest edit

The Pelagic Blackwater Night Dive in Big Island, HI, offers a unique opportunity to explore the open ocean at night, where divers can encounter a variety of pelagic species that are typically not visible during the day. This dive focuses on the water column rather than the seafloor, providing an exhilarating experience as divers drift in the dark waters.

Divers are suspended in the water column, often using a buoy or surface support, while lights attract plankton and other marine life. This creates a dynamic environment where divers can observe creatures such as jellyfish, squid, and various fish species that come to feed in the illuminated areas.
