Top notch!
Fantastic boat, dive sites, Captain and Guides. Thumbs-up to this awesome crew and business. They made our diving in Big Island Kona unforgetable! Special mention to Elle, our dive Guide for looking-out for us tiger sharks, barracudas, shrimps and flounders! The best

Great Kona Dive

Response from the operator: Aloha Karen. Glad you had such a great time diving with us. Mahalo, Andy Woerner Manager Jack's Diving Locker

Best of the best!
Jacks is the best scuba company on the island. Scuba training/certification, scuba refreshers, recreational dives - they do it all. Their trainers, dive guides and boat crews are knowledgeable and professional, the gear is well maintained and up-to-date. I would give them six stars if I could. We come back to them every year, they are the best.
Response from the operator: Thanks for the 5-star review and for choosing us as your Kona dive shop for all these years. Mahalo, Andy Woerner Manager Jack's Diving Locker

Great company to dive with!
Just Wow! Best diving on the Big Island! We were fortunate to have Keller as our guide. Very competent and fun. He was constantly writing on a whiteboard what we were seeing, which was really helpful. He also took some great photos too. The dive was well run, relaxed setting, not crowded, and a lot less money than the other company we dove with. Highly recommended! Ask for Keller, he was great to dive with.
Response from the operator: Aloha Dan, Glad you had such great time on your dives. Hope to see you back soon. Mahalo, Andy Woerner

Great experience!
My wife, Kallie, and I had not done a full open-water dive since 2017, so when we planned our Kona trip, we decided to return to Jack’s Diving Locker—the same company we had dived with back in 2008, according to our dive logs. The booking process was extremely easy. I called with several questions, and the staff was helpful, informative, and reassuring. Because it had been so long since our last actual dive, we chose to book a private divemaster for the two of us. We had completed a refresher in June 2025 for a planned dive weekend that unfortunately never happened, so we knew we would probably be a little rusty. Jack’s also saved the day before we even got in the water. My personal Atomic prescription mask unexpectedly failed when the strap attachment tore out of the mask itself. I was worried I would either have to cancel or spend the dives as “Mr. Magoo,” but the shop had prescription masks available and fitted me with one that worked perfectly. That level of preparedness and customer service made the entire dive day possible for me. Our divemaster, Sabrina, was absolutely fantastic. She was pleasant, friendly, social, knowledgeable, and incredibly patient throughout the entire experience. During our first dive, I had some difficulty clearing my ears. Sabrina stayed calm and helped me work through it, reminding me of techniques I had used years ago when I was diving more regularly and occasionally had “bad ear days.” Both Kallie and I were a little rusty on that first dive, but Sabrina never rushed us or made us feel uncomfortable. By the second dive, my ear issues had resolved, we were both much more relaxed, and the old muscle memory started coming back—including some of what I learned during my Peak Performance Buoyancy certification. The difference between the first and second dives was huge, and Sabrina’s patience and guidance were a major reason why. Sabrina also went above and beyond outside the dives themselves. While chatting with us about the rest of our trip, she recommended the Ocean Rider Seahorse Farm as a “must visit.” We had somehow missed it in our planning, immediately looked it up, and booked the VIP experience, where Kallie and I each get to hold a seahorse twice. That recommendation made our trip even better. I would recommend Jack’s Diving Locker—and Sabrina as a private divemaster—**100,000% and without hesitation** to anyone, especially divers returning after a long break. The entire experience was professional, safe, relaxed, accommodating, and genuinely fun. Sabrina also took all of the underwater photos from our dive day, which gave us some fantastic memories of the experience: https://arroyo.smugmug.com/2026-Photos-and-Pics/HI-Vacation-Big-Island/Day-3-Kona-Diving
Response from the operator: Thanks again for the great review and feedback... and for sharing the great photos of your dives. Mahalo, Andy Woerner Manager Jack's Diving Locker

Why this scores 72
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Big Island of Hawaii.
How much does 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip cost?
+
Prices start at $216 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Big Island of Hawaii usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip take?
+
Plan for about 5.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Big Island of Hawaii is not rushed.
Is 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 39 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Big Island of Hawaii, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip?
+
Around 14 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Big Island of Hawaii can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Big Island of Hawaii and add a light layer if any part of the 5.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 2-Tank Daytime Scuba Dive Boat Trip start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Big Island of Hawaii within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
The Big Island is volcano country: Hawaii Volcanoes National Park tours, Mauna Kea summit stargazing, night manta ray snorkels off Kona, Waipio Valley lookouts and coffee farm visits. Summit tours have real altitude rules, so we weight safety detail. On Outty we rank every Big Island of Hawaii experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include KONA Manta Ray Night Snorkel - FREE re-ride if no Sightings, Big Island in a Day: Volcanoes Waterfalls Sightseeing and History, Big Island: Captain Cook Snorkel On A Power Catamaran With Lunch. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Big Island of Hawaii?
+
April to October, though the island runs year round. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Big Island of Hawaii?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
