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.

Don't even think of entering the water at this beach during high surf conditions. I have searched for three victims and recovered two in the past years. Respect the ocean, take pictures from land, and save yourself the trouble of losing your life. The Big Island has many other beaches that can be enjoyed without the hassle of dying. Be Aware.
