Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Koloa Landing
Koloa Landing at Hanaka'ape Bay is a very popular dive site, especially for scuba instruction. The entry is easy, and there is plenty to see to the left and right of the landing.
From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8. After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa. Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu. At about mile 4.8, take the RIGHT fork. After .2 mile, take the left fork. You'll see the landing in about a tenth of a mile.

This is a nice site for winter diving on Kauai, entry is easy and you can park next to the water (the road is really not that bad). Koloa landing was a nice site to see turltes and eels it is shallow so its common to get an hour and 15 minute bottom times. We saw many Cert classes gearing up on our dives, but they seem to stay away from the reef so don't let them scare you off. The best part of the reef is to the right after entering the water. Take your time and look for small critters in the coral and you will find lots of fun stuff.
