Certification requirements, configurations and trimix depths are estimates for planning. Always check them locally and dive within your training. Compiled from web research (Oct 2026): the websites of Jack's Diving Locker, Kona Honu Divers (Jan 2026), Dive Maui and Seasport Divers, information from Extended Horizons (e-mail, Nov 2026), and West Hawaii Today and Civil Beat (2017–2018) on the chamber. No site has a published pin. These are guided boat dives into lava tubes, caverns and arches; the requirements come from the dive centres. Certification and configurations are estimates.
