We had read all the reviews and thought we'd try Jack's Diving Locker. (We had gone 4 times on the manta night dive with another top rated dive company, so we are very familiar with the trip.) Our captain was nice and we think it was Liz as the snorkelers' guide, and then there was Alexis. She seemed to just... More

Our experience with Jack's and the intro to scuba course was spectacular. I had been nervous about scuba diving for years after having a hard time with my mask at a resort intro pool course. The lady who answered the phone was very helpful and calming. We had plenty of time in the pool and practiced in the deep end... More

We had an unbelievable experience with Jack's Diving Locker. We signed up for a Manta Ray snorkel tour. We ran into a road detour in driving to the check in. The detour basically lost us 30 minutes and we figured that we would miss the boat. The staff at Jack's Diving Locker called us twice to check in on us... More

I did my Advanced Open Water with Jack's in November, 2011. Now we are back in May, 2013. Had some fantastic dives already: over 50 dolphins mating all around us, sea turtle, spotted eagle ray, tiger shark, eels. Fantastic! Yes, the morning local dive can get a little crowed but it is popular as is the night manta dive which... More

An absolutely outstanding staff and product mix! We decided to wait until we arrived in Kona to purchase equipment and were glad we did. We don't have much of a selection in Northern New England and it was a rare treat to find the diversity and selection at Jack's. Their staff was very helpful, especially Belinda who guided us along... More

Took the day/night combo dive. Great dive shop and divemasters. Keller was outstanding and took movies for sale. Night dive was incredible. Saw 21 different Manta Rays. Don't miss if you scuba.

Great dive shop! I recently went in with an equipment problem, ready to replace it after no one could tell me what was going on. They spent a half an hour, diagnosed it, and sold me $3 worth of silicone to fix it. They could have easily sold me $300 of something I didn't need. Super service and fully stocked... More
