Moderate Reef in very shallow waters. Excellent Snorkeling/Free Diving, but a bit shallow and bland for SCUBA. Maximum depths are around 18' and visibility is sometimes poor with some thermal mixing at the surface, but the cove is very well protected and calm, even in a strong north-west swell. Easy, effortless entry, even when 3-5 foot surf is breaking outside the points of the cove. A cleaning station for green sea turtles and the protection of this calm cove make it one of the most spectacular turtle-freindly dives I've even done on Maui. Often more than a dozen large turtles can be found here, ranging in size from young (dinner plate sized) to ancient (dinner table sized). Access is easiest for guests at the Napili Point Resort or the Honokeana Cove Condos, but there is a public pathway that requires a trek across the grounds of Napili Point. Parking is difficult for non-guests, but can be found nearby.

There are a lot of fish here because of the heat outlet from the power plant near by. Don;t worry, its just heat, not toxic waste or anything. This is probably the best place to snorkel on Oahu, but the conditions have to be flat because there is a large shore break. Also, if there are spear fishermen, they will scare off the fish.

When diving this site, make sure that you do have a 7 mm suit. The water does get a bit chilly. When it is your call to get in the cage, try to be first in line, so that you have the outside corner of the cage. Don't try to pet the sharks as they come by, and yes they do come by that close.

This site is obviously not a very good location for scuba diving, but near by this site is the Molokai lookout which is one of my favorite freediving locations. Beyond the treacherous shore break (one of the most notorious neck breaks in the world) you can swim and dive to Halona Blow hole and listen to the incredible echo of the ocean bouncing in the caves! Humpback whales frequent this area between October and April. As the reef shelf drops to over 100 feet almost instantly whales come quite close to the shoreline and make for easy viewing. This is also why the shore break is so powerful. Waves are the faces of the deep!
