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

Easy entry and exit.  Sea turtles , an eagle ray, one very small eel  and reef fish galore.  Get there early, as it is very popular certification site.  Empty by noon though.  Vis depends on the surf, today had a pretty good surge.  Very good spot for beginning and intermediate divers.  Zero facilities.  But a short drive to local watering holes.  Dirt road to site full of rocks and potholes, but accessible with caution.
