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

This is a great spot to go for a shore dive, as there's a lot of marine life to see, more than at the caverns. Kauai Down under at the Sheraton is the closest shop to the landing. Just to let anyone know, if you are going to Poi'pu from Lihu'e take 520, also known as the tree-tunnel road, it is a beautiful drive.
