Ahukini Landing is a fun dive for an experienced diver.  The water entry, kick-out, and jetty negotiation are all advanced, but the sights can be worth it.  Apparently the site was used as a small harbor during World War II.  A ship or two jettisoned its ammunition making for an eerie landscape.  Don't touch, however.  The reef creatures now make the debris their home, and it should stay that way.

Going into the Lihu'e airport (junction of 570 and 51), you'll have a chance to veer to the left toward the dive site.  There may a lot of new construction going on, but just follow the well-beaten path to the end of the road.

Ahukini Landing

3 eagle rays swimming in synchronicity, many eels. Hawaiian legends tell that sharks live in the murky waters of the bay, so stay in the clear water near the reef and the jetty!  Beware of morning crowds, as this is a popular site for classes to practice.
