Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Miloli'i Bay
Miloli'I Bay is a great dive for a day's outing. Take a couple of tanks, water and a lunch and be prepared to be overwhelmed with relaxation. The small village is fairly isolated and children abound, so be very careful and respectful when driving and parking in this area. Remember that you are guests in their community.
Here, the entry is quite easy: just walk down the shore and ease your way into the water. You'll find the best diving around the point to your right. Be aware of small boat traffic.
Directions: Miloli'I Bay can be found after mile mark 90 on Highway 11, about 30 miles South of Kailua. Now the adventure begins: take a right on the Miloli'I intersection and wind your way several miles of lava fields, through residential area (watch for kids!) to the bay. Drive slowly and carefully, as you will not want to make a mistake on this road.

My son (12 years old) and I could not believe the beauty of this site. We started our trip taking dive boats in Kona. Why spend all that extra money when you can have the best Big Island dive in Miloli'i. Our dive boat took us to a spot called 'Aquarium', I assume due to the fact that it is supposed to have tons of fish. Yeah, right - NO COMPARISON TO THIS SITE. Easy entry at the crane, you can even jump off the wall for fun during high tide. Went to the south side first, could not believe the large schools of soldier fish hiding in the caves. Saw huge puffer fish, lots of Morays, scorpion fish, was told there were sharks there but did not see one, unfortunately. We got the best pictures of the whole 3 week tour. The fish look at you like they have never seen a scuba diver before. My son wants to keep going back, and so do I for that matter!!!
