1. Where is Kona?
Kona, better known as Kailua-Kona, is on the "Big Island" of Hawaii, the largest of the Hawaiian chain.

2. What is included in the charter?
Accommodations aboard the yacht, diving, compressed air tanks, weights and weight belts, airport transfers on day of arrival and departure, meals and snacks, non-alcoholic and local alcoholic beverages are include in the charter rate.

3. How many days is the charter and how many dives can I make?
The Kona Aggressor II charter is seven days, Saturday afternoon to Saturday morning, with five and one-half days of diving. Most guests make up to 5 dives a day. Diving begins on Sunday morning and ends about midday on Friday when we return to the dock.

4. When should I arrive in Kona?
You should plan to arrive in Kona on the day of your charter, Saturday.

5. Are there any taxes or fees not included in the charter price?
No.

6. Do I need a passport?
Hawaii is part of the United States, therefore, U.S. citizens are not required to have a passport. Non-U.S. citizens should check with the appropriate consulate.

7. How do I meet the Kona Aggressor II on the day of departure?
If you arrive in Kona on the day of your charter, you will be met at the Keahole Airport by an uniformed crew member and taken to the boat. If you are already in the Kona area, you will need to make your way to the boat at 5:30 p.m. The Kona Aggressor II docks in Kailua-Kona Bay near King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel.

8. Where does the Kona Aggressor II dock?
The Kona Aggressor II docks in Kailua-Kona Bay near King Kamehameha's Kona Beach Hotel.

9. What is special about the diving on the Kona Coast?
Everyone has at least heard of the magnificent whales, but Kona's macro-photography is unbelievable: shark nose blennies, harlequin shrimp, frogfish, turkeyfish and many other wonderful creatures. The tropical fish species in the Pacific are a great deal different from those most divers are accustomed to seeing in the Caribbean. Many species are endemic to Hawaii, making it a special place for fish-watchers. Kona is also home to large marine life like spinner dolphin, turtles, mantas, sharks and several whale species.

10. What is the water temperature? Will I need a wet suit?
The water temperature ranges from about 74 to 80F. We suggest that all divers have a wet suit. During the summer months, a 3mm suit is sufficient, but during the slightly cooler winter months, a 5mm suit is recommended. A hood or hooded vest is very helpful if you have a tendency to get chilled. The visibility ranges from 75 to 125 feet.

11. What is the best time of year for diving?
Diving is superb year-round. Several species of whales are present during the winter months, however, the seas can be a little rough. While Hawaii does not have an actual rainy season, average rainfall is slightly higher between February and April.

12. What type of topography can I expect to see in Hawaii?
The Kona coast has many different bays, coves, lagoons, lava flows, black sand, white sand and green sand beaches and dramatic cliffs plus unique lava formations.

13. Is there dinghy diving?
No, diving is directly from the mothership.

14. Is there night diving?
Absolutely. The night diving is terrific.

15. Is it customary to offer a crew gratuity?
We believe gratuities should be voluntary and based upon the quality of the service the crew has provided. When setting your account, the Captain will have an envelope for gratuities to be divided equally among the crew. Gratuities may be left by cash, credit card, or travelers checks.

16. What is planned for Friday afternoon and evening after we return to port?
This is your opportunity to stroll around town, shop or sight-see in Kona. The Kona Aggressor II crew hosts a cocktail party Friday evening. Dinner is not served on board. The crew can recommend a local restaurant and/or luau and arrange transportation. This meal is not included in the charter price.

17. When is check-out time?
Check-out is between 7:00 and 8:00 a.m. on Saturday morning.

18. Where is the nearest recompression chamber?
The nearest recompression is in Honolulu on the island of Oahu.

19. As a single traveler, do you offer single supplement rates?
Yes, the cost is 1 1/2 of the normal charter rate.

20. If I book as a single traveler, who will I room with and who will I dive with?
As a single traveler, you will be booked in a stateroom with someone of the same gender. If you are traveling as a group, the group leader determines the rooming list. If you need help finding a dive buddy, the Captain and/or crew will gladly assist you or you can find one once onboard. Normally, there are many other single travelers.
