Kona Honu Divers. Dived with them for the first time 2 weeks ago after leaving Jack's Diving Locker as a customer. Great service, great experience. Dive your computer or 70 minutes.

Big Island Divers.

I've only gone with Big Island Divers and thought they were great, except for their rental wetsuits, which had degraded to where they were just 2 sheets of cloth sandwiching a sheet of absorbent rubber sponge (I pack one of my collection of old beat up 4/3 surf suits for Hawaii diving now)

Jack's Diving Locker runs a good operation, the Manta and Black Water dives should be on your bucket list

+1 for Kona Honu Divers if you want to dive out of Kailua-Kona (Honokohau Harbor). You may consider going up to Kawaihae to dive with Kohala Divers on the northwest coast of the island for a little variety in a much less dove area. You can also get that with the Kona Honu Divers Advance Long-Range charters.

I can also highly recommend the Kona Honu Divers Blackwater dive. Sarah and Jeff Milisen are the blackwater experts.
