You feel it the moment you walk through the doors of Jack’s Diving Locker on the Big Island: Hawaii’s legendary “aloha spirit.” Since 1981, the team has offered unmatched experiences and instruction to snorkelers and divers of all levels, including kids through its Hawaii Sea Camp program with Marine Life Ambassador certifications.

On both shallow and advanced dives, the underwater thrills are endless—turtles, manta rays, sharks, and even humpback whales are all a possibility. Daily two-tank boat dives put you on the island’s famed sites. The Pelagic Magic and manta night dives, among diving’s biggest thrills, were pioneered by the shop.

This PADI Five Star Instructor Development Resort has everything you need, including five dive boats, retail stores, a training facility with pool, and on-site repair technicians.
