Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Hookena State Beach Park
We will be "hooka" diving using an inflatable boat on the big island of Hawaii this Thanksgiving, so shore entry is very important too us. We are sure some of the dive sites you have described will be visited. One beach not mentioned on your site is Hookena state beach park south of Kona. Having snorkeled there I wonder how it compares with the other sites you've reviewed. Thanks for a very good web site.

Hookena is one of my favorite dive sites on the Big Island. It is a nursery for lots of fish: From Flame Angelfish to the Pyramid Butterfly fish, it has it all! Spinners frequent the area on a regular basis also! Depending on the weather, currents and waves, it can be dangerous for new divers. Enter on the south side by the camp sites and head West till the drop off at 25 feet then make a right turn and cruise along the reef. Again, keep an eye on the current! Best in the summer.
