Which Kona dive operator from King Kam hotel?

[bruizer_man]

Hello,

I am PADI advanced and will be staying at the King Kamehameha hotel in KK next week for 10 days.

I searched the forum and found Jack's Diving Locker, Dive Tek, Dive Makai, Sandwich Isle, Kona Honu, and Big Island. How to choose?

Please advise on what dive operator you would go with for a dive package (4-5 days).

Thanks.

Aloha! Glad to hear you will be visiting Kona. We are happy to quote you a package price for 4-5 days of diving. I will send you a PM. Let us know if you have questions at any time! Just e-mail our shop.

Mahalo, Angela and the staff of Jack's

Jacks, Big Island, and Kona Honu are all in Kailua Town and close to the King Kam. Cant go wrong with any of them, make sure you do the Manta Dive!

Thanks for the info. I'm thinking JDL. They are within walking distance of the King Kam. Gonna give them a call to discuss details.

The manta dive is a must, so make sure to book it (at least once!). Most dive boats launch from the same harbor, so location is not really an issue. If you want to experience diving from a more personal, less crowded boat, I'd recommend Wanna Dive. I just did 4 days of diving with them last month and had a great time. I also went out with Jack's two years ago and it was a good experience but I prefer smaller boats now.

Have fun and dive safely!

I just got off the phone with Erica (very nice) at JDL and will be diving on:

MO, 1/12 - manta
TU, 1/13 - morning
WE - N/A
TH, 1/15 - morning (or manta again if no sightings on TH)
FR, 1/16 - morning

Starting to get excited now!
