Comments	Jack's is an excellent dive operation. The staff, from the shop to the boat and dive crews, were outstanding. Friendly, helpful, and courteous. Rental equipment is top shelf and well maintained. They provide transportation from their main shop to the harbor for the boat diving. The 2-tank classic dive was easy, although a little slow on getting things going. The boat is well run, but being a senior citizen with bad knees, I found it a little difficult to move around. However, the staff did not flinch at helping me with any request. Diving was Hawaii good, but we were not able to make the Manta Dives due to rough seas and look forward to our next trip to try again. Lots of fish on our dives, but we were not fortunate enough to see the big boys,. We did see a school of Spinner Dolphins in the harbor, which was exciting.
