Willeyam - 7/07/2017 1:12 PM I went scuba diving here on 6/24/2017. Average viz: 26-30ft/8-9m. Water temp: 76-80°F/24-27°C. Good first dive in state. Difficult getting in the water due to rocks, but snorkel out was good and dive in cresvices were fun with lots of surgeon fish and small tropicals.

Robjones - 6/04/2015 10:33 PM Rating Added: 5 Best shore dive in the summer...easy in and out. Lots of sea life as this is a preserve no spear fishing allowed here.

sanityassassin - 3/16/2014 11:06 AM Rating Added: 4 A nice and easy to get to shore dive. Plenty of turtles, occasional reef sharks, and other fishies. You can also make a lava tube entry but be sure you know where you are going before you do it.

Oahu_Dive_Medic - 6/28/2013 11:15 AM I went scuba diving here on 6/27/2013. Average viz: 26-30ft/8-9m. Water temp: 76-80°F/24-27°C. Was supposed to assist with a private class today, but the plans changed at the last minute after I was already waiting at the dive site, so I decided to not waste the day and chose to do a Solo Dive instead. Visibility was not that good today, but I saw a lot of various fish and several moray eels on the dive. I did see one small White Tipped Reef Shark sleeping under an overhang way around the right side of Sharks Cove. For the second dive I went out on the left side of the cove and focused on the area straight out in front of Sharks Cove then came back in on the right side of the cove. I chose to just do a relaxing dive to observe all the fish species that inhabit the cove. Saw a lot of Reef or Wedge Tailed Trigger Fish, called Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa in the Hawaiian language which means fish that grunts like a pig. The humuhumu as it is often referred to is the Hawaii State Fish.

FastFord - 9/11/2012 9:26 PM Rating Added: 4 Used to enter thru the "Elevator shaft" on the right margin of the bay. Do not attempt if there is any surf, but you can walk out on a lava rock shelf and drop down into a hole on shelf stright down to 30 FSW. At the bottom there are several swim thru’s/lava tubes that take you out into the bay. Just be sure you see light first as there is one that goes almost 150 feet back under the island...I helped haul a dead marine out of there in 1987.

Agojo - 12/19/2011 5:05 AM Rating Added: 5 For shore diving in Hawaii this can’t be beat. Unless you are blind you should always see turtles. Outside shower and restroom in the park, get there early for good parking though.
