Comments	The Big Island of Hawaii has great shore diving, so much so that I spent most of my UW time there shore diving instead of boat diving. I wanted to do a night dive for the chance to see manta's. I chose Jacks Diving Locker because it is a well-known dive operation. They've earned a good reputation. They have a new dive shop that is absolutely fantastic. Their boats are good and the staff is professional though somewhat haughty. The divemasters are wonderful at finding stuff, but then often hog them taking UW photos themselves which they then sell back at the dive shop. We never did see any manta's. Since the Kona Surf Resort closed and the lights went off, manta sightings are hit and miss around Hawaii now.
