Diving on the Big Island in Hawaii

[scuba91709]

I just met Captain Glenn, with Kona Haru, real nice captain and sound like a great operator. In the past I have dove with Jacks Diving Locker, top notch. Keller Laros really knows the Manta's. Also Check with Eco Adventures, they work with Dolphin Dreams and they were also wonderful.

Will be back in Kona in July.

Did that a couple of years ago with Kona Coast Divers (manta ray madness), as part of my AOW. KCD were, at that time, the only people who had the big lights that they put down on the sea bed and, as such, it was their divers who got to sit around them and be closest to the mantas. The other dive groups had to sit further out.

It was one of the most amazing dives I've done, we had 8 huge mantas.

Have fun,

J.

Yeah, glad I had my godzilla halogen light. Divers in my group were thanking me. Divers from the other boat were probably not too happy.

I've got to put in a good word for Keith and his staff at DiveTek Adventures.

We're here right now diving mostly with them (did one dive with Jack's), and can't say enough good things about the staff, the boat, the sites they've taken us to and just generally how great they are to deal with. Give Keith a call (877-885-DIVE), you'll be glad you did!

I chatted with Keith a while ago and saw he boat. Looks like a bang up operation, but I haven't dived with them yet.

I've only dived with Jacks Diving Locker. I don't have experience with any other Kona shops to compare it to, but Jacks runs a first class operation. I definitely recommend them and plan of diving with them (and or Keith) during our future trips.
