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 drift in open water at night to observe pelagic larvae and deep-sea creatures that migrate to the surface, a unique experience known as blackwater diving.
