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.

We dove this site a couple of days ago and it was fantastic. A very diverse coral look than many other places on the island and big fish. We saw schools of tangs and butterfly fish of all kinds. This place has Moray Eels, everywhere, of every type. Due to the shallow entry, we found it easiest to assemble our equipment, inflate our bcd's and float them to about 4 feet of water where we put them on. This was a good idea too because it allowed us to watch for turtles as they are everywhere all over this site. If the waves pick up, then you may want to avoid this site as it may be difficult to see the exit point. A fantastic dive!!!
