Dive-site story
Located in a sheltered bay on Kauai's south shore, Koloa Landing offers dependable shore access. Divers enter from the old boat ramp into a channel flanked by volcanic rock walls that lead seaward toward patch reefs.
Dense populations of moray eels along the rocky perimeter
Hawaiian green sea turtles resting on basalt ledges
Navigation guided by natural bottom contours leading out of the bay
Location
Use the map to plan with your operator and confirm the exact entry point on the day.
Seasonality
Winter and spring bring flat water to the south shore, as north swells bypass the site.
