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.

A great dive! I saw tons of fish with wonderful visibility. I also saw one of the resident reef sharks lying between two coral heads. There are supposedly two of them. The one I saw was about 7'+ and fairly unimpressed with me. There should be no fear of them, because an old local woman I met has been swimming with them every morning for 20 years. Neat place to scuba and meet with the locals.
