We stopped at house #40 a few miles from the end of the road. There's a shore access entry. Entry to the water was easy, there's a small beach entry. Swam out about 50 yards to a drop off of about 30 feet. Plenty of fish and coral and honu. There's also a 'honu cleaning station' where the turtles come and have algae and parasites removed by fish. We saw two honu getting this treatment! Way cool. Going back tomorrow to go out a bit further to 80' of water. We are told there is an 'eel garden' in a sandy bottom.
