KonaDude - 8/27/2015 12:59 AM I went scuba diving here on 2/14/2009. Average viz: 71-80ft/22-24m. Water temp: 71-75°F/22-24°C. Great dive. Entry was a little tough via the lava. Once in went to the wall to south and saw two mid sized mantas. Access is easier from the beach. Live and learn.

JimKoz - 6/23/2015 7:41 PM Rating Added: 5 Good dive. We entered over the rocks (a little tricky) but you could also walk down to the beach for a more gradual entry. Lots of eels and if you get down around 80 feet there is a rock ring that eels and shrimp hide in. We also saw a tiger shark swim past about 20 yards from us but it didn’t seem too interested in us.

ScubaKon - 6/30/2013 7:32 PM I went scuba diving here on 6/30/2013. Average viz: 81-90ft/25-27m. Water temp: 81-85°F/27-29°C. Wow!! what a cool dive today. ok first off we headed out to the mouth of the boat channel, found a pair of pipi fish in a puka under the large boulder, swam out a bit into the blue and encountered a pod of spinner dolphins for what seemed like forever, cruised back into shore and swam through a school of hellers barracuda and in 15 feet of water had a 12ft tiger shark swim by, in addition to all the reef fish. This dive never ceases to provide just what I wasn’t expecting.
