Mahukona is an excellent dive for those who have a few dives under their belt. The entry is very easy, the parking is good, and there is a hot water shower to alleviate the chills of an hour long dive (the shower pipe runs over the lava, and is heated by the Sun -- very nice!). Since this is still used as a small boat harbor, a dive flag is recommended, as always.

Directions: Located on the North West tip of Hawaii on the North Kohala Coast on Highway 270 about 13 miles from the junction of 270 and 19.

Mahukona Beach Park

Its a weekend party spot for the locals, so I would try to get there early in the morning to do your dives.  Usually by mid day, parking gets really tight and you might get blocked in. Access in & out of the water is easy.  There might be a slight current coming in & out of the harbor, but once you're past that, the sights of the wreck and plant, fish & coral life is just amazing!!
