Mahukona is an excellent dive for those who have a few dives under their belt. The entry is very easy, the parking is good, and there is a hot water shower to alleviate the chills of an hour long dive (the shower pipe runs over the lava, and is heated by the Sun -- very nice!). Since this is still used as a small boat harbor, a dive flag is recommended, as always.

Directions: Located on the North West tip of Hawaii on the North Kohala Coast on Highway 270 about 13 miles from the junction of 270 and 19.

Dived two tanks today as refresher after a year off. Easy as ever, but entry a little harder at tide low. Can't just stride in. Watch the surge while having your partner hand down your fins. Saw a manta swim through, plenty of reef fish, several morays, a conger in a pipe, lobster in cave. Viz a little murky, often is, maybe 35'?
