Head, 100 Foot Hole is an ancient Hawaiian fishing ground that was
accessible only to the Ali'i (Royalty). Although this hole is only
70-90 feet deep, it got its name from fishermen, who, after being
asked how deep it was, answered, "it's about a hundred feet"
and the name has stuck. The site is constructed from a cluster of
volcanic rocks tumbled together to form ledges, caves and one large
open-ended cavern. One formation, encrusted with cauliflower coral,
houses the main tunnel. Within that tube there is an obstructing
rock that can easily be traversed. Boats tie off to a naturally
formed lava anchorage in 75 feet, just south of the focal boat of
the dive. Bring a light to view the bountiful marine life inside
the cave. |
