Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Puako Church
Puako is considered by some to be the heaven of the Kohala Coast with lava tubes, garden eels, fish and turtles. What more could you ask for?! After making the turn off to Puako, travel 2.1 miles until you see the Church of Ascension on your left. Water shoes are highly recommended.
Directions: The turn off to Puako is on Highway19 about 3.4 miles South of the junction of 270 and 19. Continue down Puako Road for 2.1 miles.

This was a great... GREAT...dive! Ignorance was bliss for we started our second dive at dusk with 2/3rds the dive a night dive... it was amazing, however... a place where tiger sharks are common at night (we were told). We saw none but I'm sure it was only because they were just out of 'our' sight. Turtles - turtles - turtles!!! Morays were all out hunting and stunning. Sea life was so colorful and what a great thing to see a Parrot fish sleeping in a corner right out in the open. The entry and exit are hard... you have to catch the wave just right... the darn spiny urchin's are in every little whole just waiting to stab you. Serious... you have to be pretty accurate with the entry / exit or you'll be reminded of those little but painful urchins.
