About Us

Liquid Cosmos Divers is owned and operated by a marine biologist and professional underwater photographer who are passionate about exploring and protecting our oceans.

What We Do

We specialize in developing customized diving experiences that explore the beautiful and pristine Kohala coast coral reefs. Our small group charters allow us to tailor the dive trip to your wants and needs, and we are able to explore remote areas of the coastline where no other operators go. Liquid Cosmos Divers’ highly experienced crew has extensive knowledge of Hawai`i’s coral reefs and is passionate about educating our divers on the reef ecosystem. We provide thorough briefings and de-briefings, as well as in-the-moment underwater interpretation of the reef, leaving our divers with a deeper understanding and connection to the reef.

We are passionate about marine conservation and contribute to the protection of our reefs by regular reef clean-ups, donating 1% of all sales to local marine conservation efforts, respecting marine wildlife with a no-touch policy, minimizing plastics and other waste, and spreading conservation awareness to all of our divers. We also actively support and participate in local marine research.
