Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Kehena

For Gorilla Diving only! When the weather is cooperating, this is a great site to explore the raw, underwater lava formations and the marine life within. Never dive this spot unless the surf is low. We recommend a guided dive to begin with, if you have never dived this side of the island. Directions: Starting from Hilo Bay, head South on Highway 11 (Kanoelehua Ave) for 7.4 miles to Kea'au. Head South on Highway 130 for 7.5 miles. Make a left on Pahoa Pohoiki Road (132) and travel for 7.3 miles, and turn right on Highway 137. Take this scenic road South for 8 miles until you see the parking below.

Dove this site today. Still one of my faves on the east side. The beach is only 50 years or so old so the coral growth is still in it's infancy. Still the dive is delightful. A school of dolphins often visits. Phil Caparus of East Hawaii divers is an excellent guide for diving this side of the island.
