Map of Prince Kuhio Beach / Prince Kuhio Park

Prince Kuhio Beach / Prince Kuhio Park Verified

Hawaii · 1–7.5 m

Prince Kuhio Beach/Park is a shallow south-shore Kauai reef pocket best known for snorkeling and turtle encounters, with scuba possible for divers comfortable with a rocky, shallow entry. It is not a deep or high-volume scuba site; treat it as a calm-condition shore reef/snorkel spot. Koloa Landing is usually the easier nearby scuba option.

Map of Sea Tiger Wreck

Sea Tiger Wreck Verified

Hawaii · 18.3–37.5 m

Deep artificial-reef wreck off Honolulu/Waikiki, usually done as an advanced boat dive. The upright cargo/fishing vessel has open deck/cargo areas, coral growth, and frequent turtles, sharks, rays, snapper, and macro life. Limited penetration should be treated as training- and guide-dependent, not casual sightseeing.

Map of Electric Beach (Kahe Point)

Electric Beach (Kahe Point) Verified

Hawaii · 3–12.2 m

West Oahu shore dive and snorkel site centered on the Kahe power-plant discharge pipe and nearby reef. Warm discharge water and reef structure attract turtles, rays, reef fish, and macro life. It is easy in calm conditions but the pipe outflow and boat traffic make it more than a casual beginner site.

Tunnels, also called Makua Beach, is a north-shore Kauai shore dive and snorkel site with a horseshoe reef, outer drop-off, lava tubes, caves, and tunnel-like reef structure. It is excellent in calm summer conditions but can be hazardous in winter or high surf. The site works for snorkeling inside the protected reef and scuba on the outer features when conditions allow.

Map of Tako Flats

Tako Flats Verified

Hawaii · 5–15 m

Tako Flats is a sheltered inner-crater Molokini sand channel with coral heads and rubble, named for octopus encounters. It is one of the more approachable Molokini sites for scuba, snorkel, freedive, and SNUBA guests in calm conditions. The sand channel helps navigation, but coral-head buoyancy control still matters.

Boat entry
Map of Wai'anae Artificial Reef - Mahi & Navy Barge

Wai'anae Artificial Reef - Mahi & Navy Barge Verified

Hawaii · 18.3–38.7 m

West Oahu wreck/artificial-reef dive around the Mahi minesweeper area off Waiʻanae. The wreck is known for eagle rays, reef fish, and coral-encrusted structure, but collapsed sections make penetration inappropriate. Treat the current PickADive record as a composite Mahi/Navy Barge reef-area record unless later split by precise official coordinates.

Map of Suck Em Up

Suck Em Up Verified

Hawaii · 3–8 m

Suck Em Up is a shallow North Kona boat dive built around lava tubes, cavern-like passages, skylights, and the pulsing surge that gives the site its name. It is shallow but not trivial: buoyancy and overhead discipline matter because the passages can be tight and surge can push divers around. Use it as a guided boat cavern/swim-through site, not as a technical cave dive.

Map of Brennecke's Ledge

Brennecke's Ledge Verified

Hawaii · 18–30 m

Brennecke's Ledge is a deeper south-shore Kauai boat dive built around a ledge/overhang system near the Poipu/Brennecke area. Operators describe it as rewarding but less frequently visited because distance and current can make it more demanding. It is best for experienced divers comfortable with drift-like movement and 60-100 ft profiles.

Map of Mana Crack / Na Pali Coast

Mana Crack / Na Pali Coast Verified

Hawaii · 14–30 m

Mana Crack is a remote offshore fringing reef/ledge system off Kauai's west/Na Pali side with multiple drop points and drift profiles. It is known for clear water, ledge topography, large fish, rays, and reef sharks when conditions cooperate. The site is logistics-heavy and normally run as an advanced boat trip from the west side.
