Itinerary
VIATOR IS NOT THE TOUR PROVIDER!!
Yes, this dive is from the shore...but is not stereotypical at all.
With easy entry and exit, short surface swim and lots of unique and plentiful marine life, this is the most popular south shore dive site.
This is a shore dive located in very protected Hanaka’ape Bay, which is sheltered from surf, wind, and chop.
There is very little surface swim involved, as the dive site begins just steps off the ramp.
We set up all of your equipment close to the water in a comfortable setting.
The large horseshoe-shaped bay allows us to dive in two distinct areas, perfect for a two tank excursion.
The maximum depth here is approximately 50 feet with an average bottom time of 45 minutes, depending upon air consumption.
The animals we encounter on a regular basis are: Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, up to seven species of moray eels (including the rare dragon eel), leaf and devil scorpionfish, octopus, hermit crabs, a variety of invertebrates (cone snails, auger snails, helmet snails, shrimp, sea stars, urchins), and hundreds of tropical fish!
