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.

There's a 50-foot walk through knee-deep water and surf across uneven ground to get out to deeper water where you can put on your fins. Be careful not to step on all of the turtles that are in the shallow pools. Waves can be big here. Swim straight out from the beach about 100 yards to the first drop-off that gets you down to 25 feet. If you turn right (north) and go another 100 yards you will find some nice lava tubes and arches. You'll hear whale songs during the entire dives.
