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

It was great to be back for some diving on the North Shore after what seemed like a long Winter break.  But, now the surf is down and the great diving is back!  We had two great dives at Shark's Cover yesterday (May 3).  Surf was flat (almost like a lake out there), the water temp was 75 degrees, vis was OK (approx 30 ft), and the turtles and fish were out in good numbers.  We were even treated to an aerial show by two Spinner Dolphins as we did our surface interval.  Made for a great day.  It's great to be back to my favorite dive spot on the island!
