Kona Manta Dive

[MeiLing]

Any recommendations on an operation to use for a Manta night dive in Kona?

I don't think any of them are bad...it just depends on what kind of surface support you want. I went out with Jack's Diving Locker a few years ago...big boat, not crowded and very professionally run. It's a great dive, whatever you choose to do [as long as the mantas show up].

We are using Big Island Divers when we go in Aug.

Count how many times Luke at Kona Diving company can use the word "cheeky" in his manta brief!

We have been out with Jack's twice. Very good dive op. First time we had 6 mantas, the second time 20+. Amazing.

Thanks all! Tried reading reviews on Yelp and saw too many bad ones to really make a decision. I dove the Mantas before, but by a shore dive from the hotel where they used to shine the lights. Taking my boyfriend who has never dove them before and, as he is a newer diver, would like a decent operation, as well as a number of Mantas. Obviously though, no one can guarantee the latter!

I'd recommend going with one of the smaller operators, who will only have 5 or 6 divers.
Might make your boyfriend mroe confortable being in a smaller group.

Jacks, Big Island, Kona Dive Co, Kona Honu. Any of these should be fine. Lust look at their websites and go from there.

I went with Kona Diving and loved them. Great boat and crew.

Thanks again all! After not being able to find a single negative review for Kona Diving Company, I booked with them for Sunday. So far, my experience has been pretty positive. I'll let you all know how it goes.
