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

Great beach entry site, booties are essential though as the short trek to the entry point has some sharp rocks. Once in the water though it's smooth sailing. After submersing ourselves I was amazed by the numerous caves and coral life. Big groups of fish are here as well, definitely bring a camera and flash light.
