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

Did a two tank afternoon dive on 04.13.05. There are two distinct dives at this location. Left was a very fishy "pile" of reef, highlighted by turtles, a very large moray and spotted eagle ray. On the dive to the right expect fingerlike outcroppings of reef. We were blessed to have a small pod of whales pass by near enough to hear them talking to each other. A must dive on Kauai.
