Kona - Including Manta dives - Early June 2015

[Blues Runner]

I utilized Jack's Diving Locker in Kona in early June. Jack's maintains a fully stocked dive shop with a very hospitable staff. The dive boats are comfortable and located right on the inlet. I had the opportunity to dive with three different guides Ryan, Keller and Mongo who are all very experienced and enthusiastic. The highlight of my dives was two night time manta dives. The first night delivered a manta count in the upper teens! I had such a awesome experience that I returned to night later for an encore! Great time, dive shop and staff. Water temps were mid to upper 70's. 85-100 feet of visibility.

Looks like you had a blast! I'm going to Kona on June 30. Hope the manta show is as good as those you experienced. I've booked it twice. BTW... pic #14 is a Whitemouth Moray (Gymnothorax meleagris).
