Koloa Landing at Hanaka'ape Bay is a very popular dive site, especially for scuba instruction.  The entry is easy, and there is plenty to see to the left and right of the landing.

From Lihu'i heading West on Highway 50, turn left on Highway 520 (Maluhia Road) at mile mark 6.8.  After about 3 miles, you'll hit a T in the road at Koloa.  Jog right and then an immediate left onto Po'ipu Road, and head South to Po'ipu.  At about mile 4.8, take the RIGHT fork.  After .2 mile, take the left fork.  You'll see the landing in about a tenth of a mile.

Koloa Landing

Very cool dive site, if you slow down and look around. Tired of people comparing this dive site to that one. There is a breeding colony of dragon eels here. Very cool stuff: leaf scorpion fish, schools of ahol'e ahol'e fish that will block out the sun, and of course the normal amount of hawai'i turtles. All kinds of endemic species here.  Slow down and look into every nook and corner of the rubble as there is a lot of life here.
