Lava Dive Charters

PRESS RELEASE

  •   Due to a catastrophic event at the site the HOT LAVA DIVES are presently on hold!  Recently a bench collapse occurred sending over 20 acres of lava off the edge of the flow into the ocean. Fortunately no-one was injured. We will update when conditions stabilize. Nautilus Dive Center offers many other exciting activities, such as lava-tubes and arches, shipwrecks and Turtle City. Imagine seeing over 20 large, green sea-turtles on one dive!

  • Sketch of unstable ground on new land as delta grows seaward New land the size of several football fields can collapse into the ocean with little or no warning, and the intensity of lava-seawater explosions can change suddenly. Find out how new land is created when lava enters the sea and how to identify areas near lava-entry points that are safe for viewing.
