Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Ulua Beach
Ulua Beach is one of the beaches in the Wailea resort complex development on Maui's south shore. The sandy beach is located between two rocky points. Ulua Beach is a bit more popular than neighboring Mokapu Beach, with which it shares a parking lot. When the surf is up, it is usually a little higher here than at other beaches in this area, attracting many bodyboarders who enjoy the waves. During calm days, the snorkeling and diving here is excellent. There are many colorful corals and fish. Ulua means `adult crevalle fish in the Hawaiian language.

I snorkeled this reef July 2012 3 times as well as dived the reef twice. Best one I found for ease of access and marine life. lots of turtles, lots of eels if you look for them, lots of fish. Eagle ray came by while I was diving 30ft at the end of the reef and the sand. I went with wife and friends who are beginner snorkelers and didn't go out as far, they loved it. Saw lots of turtles and fish. Hence the number of times we were back there. I didn't see any white tips, but was looking for them.
