Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Captain Cook (Kealakekua Bay)

Kealakedua Bay is a wonderful diving area also shared by kayakers. The bay has been designated a State Park, and you'll easily see why. The view is spectacular, the water is clear, and wildlife abundant. Don't miss diving this site. Directions: From Kailua, drive south on Highway 11 for about 13 miles to get to Captain Cook. Take a right on Highway 160 (mile mark 110.5) to Kealakekua Bay, and wind your way about 4 miles down to the ocean.

I have lived on island, on and off, for years. Getting in, there are steps off the wharf, so entry and exit are easy. Best coral is heading west, over the sand patch area. This is a great night dive because of the entry/exit and the coral forms a maze with lots of life. The dive is on the shallow side, about 45 ft average. The wall across the bay is only accessible by kayak or boat… enjoy!
