Dive-site story
Entering from the small sandy cove just south of the active launch facility, divers navigate across shallow basalt reef structures and sand channels. The reef finger formations extend offshore, providing sheltered resting pockets for Hawaiian green sea turtles and schooling reef fish. Because motorized vessels frequently use the adjacent boat channel, staying outside marked navigation lanes and towing a dive flag are essential.
Resident Hawaiian green sea turtles resting under lava overhangs
Gentle reef fingers ideal for relaxed navigation and night diving
Convenient shore access with paved parking and freshwater rinse stations
Location
