About Jack's Diving Locker
Jack's Diving Locker has been the anchor of the Kona diving scene since 1981, operating from the Coconut Grove Marketplace on Ali'i Drive in the heart of Kailua-Kona. A PADI 5 Star Instructor Development Center with multiple dive boats, a retail floor, and an in-house gear service department, it is the closest thing the Big Island has to a one-stop dive headquarters.
Daily two-tank morning charters visit the lava arches, pinnacles, and coral gardens of the Kona Coast, while the legendary manta ray night dive puts certified divers on the sand as mantas feed overhead — snorkelers can join the same trip from the surface. Instruction runs from intro Discover Scuba sessions through open water certification and professional-level courses, and the rental counter stocks full scuba kits, snorkel sets, and wetsuits for divers who arrive without gear.
More than four decades of local operation show in the details: crews know the seasonal patterns of every site, boats are set up for photographers, and the shop's repair technicians keep rental equipment in dependable condition. For visiting divers who want an established, safety-focused operator within walking distance of Kailua-Kona's hotels and restaurants, Jack's remains the default recommendation.
