Comments Jack's dive locker had very good rental equipment & ran excellent day trips out of Kona /Kailua . Staff were very attentive especially Jessica who gave my 71 YO wife with 6 years dive experience & 40 dives the boost she needed the 1st day. Daveed ("Davide") was an excellent captain on a very comfortable boat. Keller was a terrific guide for the manta dives. We ran into a beautiful solo manta named Lola almost immediately And soon saw another 5 who were probably part of the group we saw on the Night Dive.This was my 3rd manta night dive over the past 25 years and was still an amazing experience. Brushed my scalp multiple times & knocked my buddie's mask off altogether. Highly recommend it to divers of all levels of experience. It got a little cold after 40 minutes even in 78 degree water.
