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 night dive here in Dec 02.  Nice entry, although the concrete ramp is a bit slippery, went out the left side of the horseshoe - look at the arial photo - out to about where that boat is, then cut across the neck, and returned up the other side of the shoe.  Viz was decent, a little surge, but not bad.  Saw plenty of life - eels, leaf fish, lobster.  Pretty decent for a shore dive.
