Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Koloa Landing
Koloa Landing at Hanaka'ape Bay is a very popular dive site, especially for scuba instruction. The entry is easy, and there is plenty to see to the left and right of the landing.
From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8. After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa. Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu. At about mile 4.8, take the RIGHT fork. After .2 mile, take the left fork. You'll see the landing in about a tenth of a mile.

What an easy entry, a little crowded with folks lining up like cattle for their organized dive tours. That makes sense, since the rest of the island was blow out by trade winds and surf. But it was easy to lose them on the bottom. Visibility was 20+ once you left the sandy entry. Mostly rocks on this dive, corals are sparse, but there were plenty of Green Sea Turtles, eels, and too many fish to name. We made a two tank dive, to the west first and then to the east. An excellent day!
