Well we checked out a couple of suggested sites, "City of Refuge" or as some locals call it "Two Step". We also checked out another place called "Cresent Beach" over by the boat harbor outside of Kona. We wound up doing all our shore diving at "City of Refuge" because of the water conditions. My wife isn`t one to like to deal with much of a hike to go diving, and the hike if you can call it that at "Two Step" was about maybe 50 feet tops from the parking area, and the water conditions were flat for all 4 dives we did there. The Reefs were very plentiful, lots of fish, and something for everyone there. We were told if you get there really early 7 or 8am you might be able to actually se dolphins out there "sleeping". But we didn`t see any. Of all the shore diving sites I`ve done Two Step has the easiest walk to, easiest entry/exit. Depths go from 10 ft at the entry point all the way down to 120 ft on the "shelf" about 20 yards from the entry.
