I went to JDL to complete my Open Water Referral for certification. Did my class and pool work in San Diego but wanted the open water portion done in the beautiful warm waters of Hawaii while visiting (where I'll be moving to next year.) I selected JDL because of the good reviews from the book "Hawaii The Big Island Revealed."... More

From the people that answer the phones to the people that rinse your gear at the end of the dive, and everybody in between, Jack's Diving Locker provides superb customer service. If you want to get certified, take advanced classes, snorkel with manta rays, or receive professional underwater photography or video tips they've got you covered. You can even learn... More

We were on our yearly vacation to Hawai'i and decided to finally do the Manta Ray dive. I must say, that JDL's op is plain AMAZING. we dive boats weekly in Florida and we have never encountered the level of organization and service provided by JDL from the shop all the way to the divemasters. Mahalo for the amazing experience... More

I started out simply completing my PADI Open Water Diver certification, referred by my local dive shop with an add on of the Manta Ray Night Dive. I wanted to do "a couple" of dives the following week, but didn't know what I wanted to do. I walked into the shop, after 7 plus hours of flying and was greeted... More

Holy crap. Stop questioning whether this is the right thing to try. Just DO IT! My wife convinced me that jumping in the ocean at night was a good idea... provide large creatures would be there. I know, it sounds scary. But this was the single most awesome thing we did on our honeymoon. Now, before I go any further,... More

I've dived all over the world and Jacks is by far one of the best! They employ a group of people that love to dive and are enthusiastic about sharing their love with everyone. They do a great job keeping the newbies and the experienced divers separated even when they are on the same boat. They are very liberal with... More

I was dissapointed to find that my favorite dive company, kona coast divers was out of business. But I made a reservation with these guys on a friends recommendation. I was excited to find that kona coast had "merged" with captain jack's. I went out with the advanced 2 tank boat and had a great day of diving. Captain Jack's... More

We took two scuba diving 1/2 day trips with Jack's Diving Locker. Both were great experiences and the crew was extremely friendly and helpful. I must tell you that the highlight of our most recent trip to Hawaii was our Manta Dive with Jack's Diving Locker. WOW. Our crew knew exactly were to be and at what time. They prepared... More

You should not miss this experience! The crew from Jack's Diving Locker are great - professional, very safety oriented and friendly. We will be talking about this evening for years to come. Manta Rays are mere inches from your face as they swoop and swirl below you. We are snorkelers and found that our experience was definitely as good as... More
