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.

We rented a house across the street for xmas 09, dove this site 3 times with my 19 year old son. Didn't go out some days as the surf was quite high. I had my hard boots with me (Canadian dry suit diver!) and was glad I did, made the entry a piece of cake. There are some small mooring eyes on the edge of the drop off, I tied my smb to one and it made it easy to spot the exit point. Watch for boats as the Puako harbor is close. We saw whales from the shore more than once. Great dive site!
