Shore diving Kona Hawaii...Some of the best shore diving in the State...
Kona has a number of very decent shore dives. Unlike the other islands in the chain, we're mostly a rocky shoreline and there are no rivers or streams on our side of the island. That makes for very good water clarity on most days.
This was an OK day, nothing special. My guess is I took this video maybe 70 feet from shore. The Place of Refuge is neat in that you can step off the entry rock and be in 6 feet of reef from the get-go. Yellow tangs are often literally eating at your fin tips as you step in. There's a good expanse of 9-30 foot deep reef out front and then it drops to deeper than recreational diving depths in just a short swim.
As much as I like running dive charters, there's good diving to be had for those who are in to shorediving.
Aloha,
Steve

Just wanna tell that this is handy , Thanks for taking your time to write this.
Wow, the video and the scenery were just plain awesome. I would surely love to go and dive there.
Hawaii sounds like a beautiful place to dive. Are there various sea creatures that can easily be seen while diving? I hope to get to Hawaii soon to be able to take advantage of the underwater world!
Super-Duper site! I am loving it!! Will come back again - taking you feeds also, Thanks.
