We never tire of visiting Ke’ei. The quiet village, the wonderful ocean views, and the excellent diving make for a pleasant afternoon. On this dive, you may be greeted by garden eels, and a rare daylight sighting of a manta ray. The people of Ke’ei have always been nice to us, so be respectful of their property and privacy so we may continue to be welcomed.
Easy shore entry. If surf is up expect surge and current. The drop off kind of follows the curve of the bay. look for big stuff along the drop off. The rock/coral formations closer to shore offer lots of pukas(holes) as well as some small caves. The large rubble patch to the south is a good navigation point to explore from. Two jellies a pair of filefish, octopus, turtle, awa(milkfish) and a bounty of reef fish. Did not make it to the caves this dive as surf was up.
