Hi there dougmatic. Thank you for asking about the advanced local and long range trips compared to the "regular" trips. I hardly ever try to convince folks to do an advanced trip rather than a regular trip...especially if they haven't already done a ton of regular trips. The divers that are...

Aloha Jeff. If you are interested in small groups...we only take 6 divers on our Pelagic Magic dive. (I think once in a blue moon we've taken 7.) There are other operators that offer a black water dive. The name Pelagic Magic is exclusive to Jack's. Sounds like you've got a fun Christmas...

We are thrilled you had a great time! We look forward to your next visit.

We are thrilled you enjoyed your experience. I will forward your report to Jeff, Keller, and the rest of the crew. Mahalo for joining us and we look forward to your next visit! Angela and the staff of Jack's

Yep, awesome day!

Aloha! The SUDS group is returning this month for more diving with Jack's. SUDS is the Soldiers Undertaking Disabled Scuba group. We had a FABULOUS time with them last year. It was a great experience! If you have questions about diving with challenges, please e-mail...

Barrod, For the blackwater dive (Pelagic Magic) with us, we ask that you have done a night dive before, have done at least 10 dives, and have been diving within the last 12 months. We generally take up to 6 divers so it stays very manageable. It's a really cool experience. We actually are...

We're so glad Keller was able to help this dolphin. Very cool!

We are so glad you enjoyed your experience! We look forward to the opportunity to dive with you again. Mahalo, Angela and the staff of Jack's

I really enjoyed those wonderful picures! Angela

Just a little whaleshark tidbit. We are looking forward to seeing photos this afternoon of a whaleshark sited on today's boat charter. Everyone keep a look out. Sometimes they stay around for days! Angela

We look forward to diving with you! Mahalo, Angela

Stop by Jack's Diving Locker in Kailua Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii to pick up a Backscatter Underwater housing for your GoPro camera. They're great for snorkeling and diving. They're flying off the shelves! 800-345-4807 or 808-329-7585

Aloha John, It's great that you are coming to Kona! You'll be amazed at the marine life after growing up around fresh water. You may find that local divers aren't necessarily up for the responsibility involved in taking new divers (or any divers they don't know) under wing. If you do find...

If you'd like to dive the best area in the bay, you'll probably want to rent kayaks and paddle across. Start in front of the monument and follow the drop-off out and then back. But I agree with friscuba in his description of the diving compared to snorkeling. And by the time you rent a car...

Let me know if you have questions at any time! We look forward to seeing you here. Angela

Aloha Debby! To answer your questions...if by "need" you mean is it required by law, then yes. If by "need" you mean for safety...personally I would say yes. The amount of boat traffic on a shore dive varies depending on the site. There is a nice little reef on the north side of Kailua Pier...

We see a tiger shark every now and then. It's certainly not a regular siting, but it's common enough not to surprise us. (Well, I'm sure it surprises us when we first spot it!) I remember several months ago (may have been longer than that...time flies) there were a few days that there were...

Aloha! We take lots of people to the manta site for their first night dive. Ultimately it's up to your wife to decide her comfort level for night diving...but the dive is in 30-45 feet of water and well lit up by lots of diver and snorkeler lights. We like to do it as a 2-tank dive. On the...

Aloha! You'll have a wonderful time in Kona. During Christmas we offer our usual multi-day discount. We take up to 6 divers per guide. The other posters are correct in that it is a super busy time of year and you'll want to make your diving arrangements pretty soon. If you'd like to ask us...
