Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at 'Alula Beach (Kona Dog Beach)
Alua Beach is a pleasant little cove that has easy access to a popular boat diving site. Take water and a snack with you. There are facilities nearby (water, restrooms) in the harbor proper, but not at the beach. Watch for the boat traffic, as they may not be watching for you. It is not recommended to snorkel here for that reason.
Directions: On Highway19, coming North from Kailua-Kona, the turn off will be 2.4 miles from the junction of 19 and 190

Gorgeous dive, totally secluded. But there was a price to pay! You have to hike all your gear over a 50 yard stretch of lava rocks that are not the most friendly. If doing that sort of hike either holding your gear or with your gear on isn't your thing - I'd skip this dive. We are beginner divers though, and since we were there we decided to give it a go and we had a great dive. Just be forewarned about the little mountain climb :) involved!
