We never tire of visiting Ke'ei. The quiet village, the wonderful ocean views, and the excellent diving make for a pleasant afternoon. On this dive, you may be greeted by garden eels, and a rare daylight sighting of a manta ray. The people of Ke'ei have always been nice to us, so be respectful of their property and privacy so we may continue to be welcomed.

Parking is the right, and the dive entry is from the small boat ramp on the left. Kick out until you're in about 20 feet of water, drop down, and continue out until you see the sandy bottom, home to the garden eels.

Directions: Less than a quarter mile South from Kahauloa Bay, take your first right just before refuse transfer station to your left.

Ke'ei Beach

Pristine dive.    Found an easy entry exit site (tiny slot of the beach) behind a rock wall that the local use a kayak launch.   The underwater conditions are lovely & untouched with great visibility.  It is now one of our favorite spots.  The nasty road keeps out all but the determined divers.  We were the only divers each day we visited.   The area is rustic with a few picnic tables but no facilities.  Please show respect for the area as people are living along here. So mind your manners.  When the surf is high in North Kona this place is perfect.   When you first get in head down to 80 90 feet to check out the Garden Eels.  The work your way up to the reef. There is a lot to see in the 30-20 ft range.
