"Prince Kuhio shore dive"
Reviewed Mar. 24, 2018
Beginner/intermediate entry. Walk out on some rock corral and then step in. Fairly easy. Would recommend wearing water shoes to get in.
Saw ~10 turtles! Lots of critters and lots of juvenile fish. 3 spot dascyllus juvenile was my favorite. White eels, cleaner shrimp, starfish, spotted box fish.... Show More

"PK's"
Reviewed Mar. 15, 2018 This shore dive is an intermediate entry and exit. Water shoes are definitely required to walk over the rocks to get into the water. Once you've made it past the rocks there is a little ledge to either stand or sit and gear up. The dive is a fairly shallow dive. The visibility was poor on entry and exit as it was a bit wavy, once we got further out and deeper it improved to about 30 ft. Max depth was around 20 ft, average was around 12 ft. Water temperature was 73 F. During this dive I saw a couple turtles, rock movers and white spotted juvenile eel. ... Show More

"Great 20 ft dive!"
Reviewed Mar. 13, 2018 Entry for this site isn’t overly challenging. Just be mindful when carrying your gear down the rocks from the road. Once in the water you’ll need to swim out a bit to get to the bigger coral heads. There are lots of different juvenile fish to see on the swim out. We saw over 10 turtles during this dive along with a variety of fish. Water temp was 72F with visibility staying around the 30 ft range.... Show More

"Shallow Easy Dive"
Reviewed Mar. 13, 2018 Max depth was 25 feet, water temp 74F, visibility was ok, 30 feet. Visibility was limited by air bubbles in the water, it has been rough in the water the last few weeks. Entry is by stepping off the lava shore into 2 feet of water, make sure you have booties or reef shoes, or there is a slope of lava you can walk down then remove your reef shoes and put on your fins. Do the same for exit. There are coral heads to explore as well as both sides of the reef, we saw lots of big turtles and other fish. There seems to be a lot of juvenile fish as well . Due to the shallow depth you can spend an hour or more so take your time. This would probably be an excellent night dive from shore there is no way to get lost and if you need to you can pop up and get your bearings.... Show More
