Site details

General Store, often paired with Turtle Bluff, is a south-shore Kauai boat dive with reef structure, black coral, and wreck/historic-vessel context around the Pele. It is best treated as an intermediate-to-advanced guided boat dive rather than an independently navigated shore site. The exact wreck/site position should be confirmed by the operating boat before diving.
