Personalized Boat Excursions on the Kona Coast of Hawaii

The Torpedo is an option for both snorkelers and divers on our daytime tours. Here at Torpedo Tours, we are the 'scooter diving' experts of Hawaii. Have more fun, try a Torpedo on your next dive or snorkel trip.

TORPEDO SNORKELING

The Torpedo is very easy to control and safe to use. For snorkelers, using a Torpedo does not require any prior experience. The Torpedo cruises at 2 knots which is about as fast as a freestyle swimming stroke. For snorkeling, a float vest is attached to the Torpedo, so you can let go anytime and the Torpedo will float. It will also turn off automatically as soon as you let go. Fun for the whole family! Snorkelers under the age of eight who find it hard to hold on by themselves can ride "tandem" with an adult by holding onto a shoulder or fin of the "driver".

TORPEDO DIVING

Cruise along effortlessly through canyons, archways or even lava tubes! Cover four times the area without even kicking. Stop anytime you want, to examine a critter more closely, or just keep cruising... it's up to you. Your Divemaster will keep a close eye on you to know when you've stopped to check something out. Keep up with rays, sharks and dolphins without sucking down your air. We recommend that you already posess good buoyancy skills for a more comfortable ride. If it's been a while since your last dive, we recommend a regular dive to hone your skills, before adding a Torpedo. The battery life is 80 minutes. If your bottom time of your first dive is 80 minutes and you want to do a second Torpedo dive, we simply swap out the used battery for a new one. Underwater, the Torpedo is 2 pounds negative.
