Koloa Landing - Poipu Kauai - Hawaii


Loading...
Probably the easiest shore dive site on Kauai. You can find many classes here. The lower parking lot has a couple Andy Gumps as far as bathrooms go. If the parking lot is full from classes in the morning there is street parking 80 yards away and an easy walk. There is a boat ramp which makes the entry and exit a breeze, but the water near the ramp is murky and strewn with floating debit. There is reef to the left or right (East or West) with runs from 10’ - 45’ deep. The West/right reef was huge and went on forever, with lots of fish, and some turtles, but not many smaller critters that I found. The further away from the boat ramp you go the more coral you will find. The reef to the East/left was smaller with half the visibility of the West, but I found many more critters including many scorpionfish, and several different types of eels in the coral. A lot of wood debit is littered throughout this side so it’s not as pretty as the larger Eastern reef. All around a little bit of everything.
