Comments My last dive before COVID was with Jack's 2 years ago. So my first time back in the water I returned to them. I was glad to see that they haven't dropped their standards, and have even made some boat upgrades in the meantime. They run a professional crew, with emphasis on safety and customer service. This is a great experience for divers new to Hawai'i. The dive sites area all near the harbor (short boat rides). I know there are those who think these are all great dives, but to me they seem very similar, with little variation among the corals and fish. Happy to report that the corals seem to be doing well, with no noticeable change in fish populations. Their "pelagic magic" night dive is absolutely unique and I highly recommend it. I would recommend Jack's for anyone wanting to dive Kona.
