Kahe Point Beach Park (also known as Electric Beach) offers diving for all skill levels.  The entry is very easy, you'll find a covered shelter, and all the facilities to make for a pleasant dive.

On the South West corner of the Farrington Highway on the West Shore.

Kahe Point Beach Park

Hard swim against surf out to the reef.  Well worth the effort as warm water from the electric plant make for good reefs and fish.  Lots of spinner dolphins.  Better by boat.

What is there that hasn't already been said about Hanauma Bay?  Divers' paradise, excellent diving, friendly marine life, etc.  Unfortunately, the
overcrowding of this popular site has caused major environmental impact and has necessitated the implementation of many conservation measures.  As crowded as this place is, it now has only one-third the attendance it used to have before restrictions were passed in 1990.  Parking, and access to the beach is controlled, and volunteer docents try to educate the visitors so additional damage is avoided.  One of our greatest concerns is the trampling of the reef.  Although numerous signs are posted, it still constantly occurs.  Although there's not too much live coral inside of the reef, other living organisms inhabit the zone, and it is basic diver etiquette to avoid touching any reef.

Take Kalanianaole Highway (72) East to Koko Head.  At the top of the hill, turn right into Hanauma Bay.

Hanauma Bay

Outstanding!  Steep hill to beach, trolley available ($4.00 per tank)  Turtles, sharks, lots of fish.  Nice protected bay.

#2 - Hanauma Bay

Very easy shore dive, local PADI instructors take students here for their open water cert dives. Lots of turtles, fishes... also neat swim-throughs in the reef. Nothing too nasty, maybe the occasional reef shark, though I've never seen one here. A great O'ahu dive. But it's crowded on the summer weekends... though Three Tables (another dive site) is right next door, so there's plenty of space in the water, even if parking is bad.

Shark's Cove at Kalalua Point is another must-dive site for Oahu. The entry is easy, and it's just a short kick to get outside the reef.  Kids and snorkelers will find the cove perfect for their activities. Rocky coastal area & tidal pools teeming with small fish for snorkeling, plus showers & restrooms. Off Kamehameha Highway on the North Shore in the Waimea area.

Why is it called Shark's Cove? Because the outline of the reef from above looks like a shark.

Shark's Cove is also known as Pupukea

Shark's Cove

Great dive.  Many caves, shelves etc.  Lots of turtles.  Rocky shore, small beach.  Can be kind of difficult to get past the rocks but well worth the effort.  Surf can be a challenge on entry with the rocks.
