Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Mahukona Beach Park

Mahukona is an excellent dive for those who have a few dives under their belt. The entry is very easy, the parking is good, and there is a hot water shower to alleviate the chills of an hour long dive (the shower pipe runs over the lava, and is heated by the Sun -- very nice!). Since this is still used as a small boat harbor, a dive flag is recommended, as always. Directions: Located on the North West tip of Hawaii on the North Kohala Coast on Highway 270 about 13 miles from the junction of 270 and 19.

Paved road takes you down to the park, with stairs into the water. There is a bathroom on the far side of the park. The vis was poor because of all the wave action, and the bottom was beat up compared to most other places I dove. Probably because it mostly runs at 20' and the waves have more affect on the reef.
