About Garden Eel Cove
A popular Kona night dive centered on attracting manta rays with a large light placed among divers. Divers typically kneel on the sandy bottom in shallow water while mantas glide in close overhead to feed. In addition to the manta action, eagle rays may also pass through, and there is coral in the area.
