Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Puako Church
Puako is considered by some to be the heaven of the Kohala Coast with lava tubes, garden eels, fish and turtles. What more could you ask for?! After making the turn off to Puako, travel 2.1 miles until you see the Church of Ascension on your left. Water shoes are highly recommended.
Directions: The turn off to Puako is on Highway19 about 3.4 miles South of the junction of 270 and 19. Continue down Puako Road for 2.1 miles.

Nice private residential location across the street from a neighborhood church. Unmarked dirt road - blocked - so park across the street. Entry is OK but rocky with constant surges so there is an opportunity to slip. This continues well out 20-30m in some spots before you get good depth. This is turtle mecca - more here than anywhere on the island. Surgeon fish as well - huge schools dominate the reef. Cleaner wrasse, moray and scorpionfish. Oh, and turtles - many juvenile.
