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.

Just as an update to a previous post in 2012. I did make it back to this site in Jan. 2103. It's still easy in and out, but I was pretty surprised at the change in the dive site in just over a year. The topography is still interesting (of course) but the coral seems to have taken a real beating. Much of it was bleached and broken. Also, until you get quite a ways out from the pier, the fish life seems to have vanished probably due excessive amounts of spear fishing (Milolii IS a fishing village)and they are down to even harvesting urchins at this point. We did see one spotted and one green moray, but other than some butterfly fishes, there wasn't much in the way of observable fish life. It's still worth the drive to dive it...in my opinion.
