Was initially leery of this site due to many snorkelers & apparent distance to the reef. But surf was up at Puako church & needed an easy entry for beginning dive buddy sister. However, entering the little sneak route marked by piles of lava with a white coral on top was incredible. Eagle rays and turtles in the shallows...a great drop through a lava tube from 4 feet to 20 feet leading out the canyon was so cool! (It's to the right so you may need to ask someone to find it.)
