| At the east end of
the Dillingham Airfield, 15 minutes from Haleiwa Harbor, a finger
of the Waialua Wall extends seawards. A large wash rock rests on
that plateau in 20 feet, approximately a half-mile offshore. Devil's
Rock rises four to five feet above the surface marking the position
for diving in varied topography. The inshore rock is a sheer drop
to a sand bottom at 70 feet. The frequent turtle sightings are indicative
of all the sites along the North Shore area. A couple of vertical
cracks, five to ten feet wide, on each side of the wall, hide lobster
- but are good for shelling, including tiger cowries. Excellent
snorkeling is available around the washrock, which is nicely encrusted
with healthy corals. The seaward side drops to over 90 feet, and
is an active area for dolphins during the summer months, and whale
sightings during the spring. |
