Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Captain Cook (Kealakekua Bay)

Kealakedua Bay is a wonderful diving area also shared by kayakers. The bay has been designated a State Park, and you'll easily see why. The view is spectacular, the water is clear, and wildlife abundant. Don't miss diving this site. Directions: From Kailua, drive south on Highway 11 for about 13 miles to get to Captain Cook. Take a right on Highway 160 (mile mark 110.5) to Kealakekua Bay, and wind your way about 4 miles down to the ocean.

Ditto on the kayak trip to Capt Cook monument. What a great time we had paddling & diving! I've never seen so many yellow tangs in one spot! There's plenty of shallows and deep diving to suit everyone's taste and an arch & some pinnacles and of course, tons of fish. What more could you ask for? There was a guy at the wharf who was happy to help us get the kayaks in the water - what a great place. I managed to get myself and my gear and the kayak out of the water all by myself!
