Kailua Bay is a shore accessible salt water dive site, located in Big Island, HI. This dive site has an average rating of 3.33 out of 5 from 6 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 21-25ft/6-8m. The average visibility is 31-35ft/9-11m.
Kailua Bay, although right on the main drag through the Kailua coast, is a much overlooked diving spot. Access is very easy, and the sights are worthwhile.
Flick on your high-powered flash light and watch as massive, floppy, docile manta rays appear around you sucking up phytoplankton. Years ago, some canny divers connected up some lights on the ocean bed, which brought light-seeking plankton and in turn many 20-feet-wide (and 3,000 pound) rays. It’s one of the most memorable yet bizarre dives you’re likely to have.
