11/13/2006 Anonymous (Avg: 3.50 Review) - Lots of fun!

10/14/2005 Kendall Roberg (Avg: 4.51 Review) - This is a great site with neat channels in the reefs to dive in. I saw lots of turtles and a barracuda. I suggest going off to the reef on the left (the one shown in the middle photo below). This was a lot of fun diving in; just watch out for people jumping off the rocks (don't want them to land on you). Fun and easy spot to dive.

12/21/2004 Janet Shuldt (Avg: 3.50 Review) - I liked this dive because it was easy and relaxing -- that's just the way I like to dive. My husband likes to rough it, so wasn't too impressed. Lots of great facilities here, and perfect for a day on the beach!

05/13/2004 Bryan Heit (Avg: 3.58 Review) - Nice easy dive, good for night, but is very shallow. Best stuff we found was the reef along the small rock point separating Kamaole #2 & #3. Found several sleeping turtles under some rock ledges, and a few spiny lobsters. Did not see many fish at night, except for a few puffers.

05/30/2001 Al Mialkovsky (Avg: 3.04 Review) - Lots of checkout dives are done here so it's a very good spot for beginner divers to get out there without many concerns. There are restrooms and outside showers for rinsing off afterwards. I sort of came away without great feelings here, BUT, when I compare it to my diving spots in Oregon, there isn't a comparison.

The coral around the point is more interesting than the beach area.
