SCUBA Tours from Kona Details

Jack’s Diving Locker offers a lot of different tour and lesson options. Certified divers can head right out onto boat tours, and if you’re new to diving or need a refresher course, book a lesson to get (re)certified and then head out on an exciting dive trip.

They offer much flexibility with private or group tours for manta ray night dives, shore tours, and boat tours, so you can explore as far out as you’d like.

We love that Jack’s Diving Locker has a dive pool for lessons, which can help you become comfortable with diving in a more controlled setting before heading into the ocean.

We talk about this and more to do within Kailua-Kona Town in our 18 Kailua-Kona Things to Do video (skip to 6:11 minutes to see their dive pool):

Things to Note:

  • Be mindful of altitude, and book your tour according to your travel plans. After doing one dive, you should wait at least 12 hours before flying or driving to altitude. If you do more than one dive on the same day or dive during two or more days, waiting at least 18 hours is recommended.
  • Read their policy on children attending dives and lessons prior to booking.
  • 24-hour cancellation policy (with exceptions)
