Douglas Bach, owner of Waikoloa Coast Divers, has over 40 years experience in Hawaiian waters as a captain, dive instructor, sailor, fisherman, & surfer. Doug has been diving the Kohala coast for the last 20 years, which has provided him extensive knowledge and experience with the Kohala coast’s best dive sites, sea conditions, marine life, humpback whales, and a whole lot more! He has passed on this practical knowledge and experience to his son, Captain James, who runs our dive boat the Lani kai.
James Bach, Doug’s son, is now captain of the Lani Kai. Born and raised in Hawaii, James grew up running the Lani Kai on the Kohala Coast. He has an exceptional knowledge of the boat, the ocean, and all things local on the Big Island. With a little luck he will catch and share some delicious Ahi or Ono while cruising in between dive sites. He loves the ocean and most days can be found either diving, fishing, or sailing off the Kohala coast.
Capt Doug and Capt James run the best family owned dive business on the Big Island. We have been diving with them for the past 12 years and the are consistently awesome, knowledgable and always make us feel like family. The instructors/dive masters on the boat are the BEST! We love Gail, Andrew and Big Bob. The boat is easy to locate at A Bay in the Waikoloa Beanch Resort area. They take you to some great spots and I highly recommend this dive company. - Patty G.
