Hanaka’ape Bay Shore Dive
Located in the sheltered Hanaka’ape Bay, this shore dive site is protected from wind, surf, and chop. The dive begins just a few steps from the ramp, with only a short surface swim needed, and all gear set up nearby for ease. The horseshoe-shaped bay offers two separate dive areas ideal for a two-tank dive. Divers can reach depths of about 50 feet and typically spend around 45 minutes underwater, depending on air consumption. Common sightings include several tropical fish species, Hawaiian green sea turtles, as well as up to seven types of moray eels including the uncommon dragon eel, plus various invertebrates such as cone, auger, and helmet snails, shrimp, sea stars, urchins, octopus, hermit crabs, and leaf and devil scorpionfish.
