| This is a shore dive
from Haleiwa Beach Park and is best accessed by swimming out from
Jameson's Restaurant to the green (#3) buoy on the starboard side
of the channel. There is a surface layer of poor visibility (2-3
feet) that clears to about 60 feet deeper down. The site is a labyrinth
of channels, with walls that run from 25 feet, to within 3 feet
of the surface. They are 12 to 15 feet across, and separated by
a silt bottom, with the offshore end tapering to a width of one
diver. This site is best dived when working in towards the shore.
The matrix of pukas is filled with tiny lobster and a number of
tiger cowries. Though inaccessible during the day, everything comes
out at night for good photography, making this an excellent night
dive site. As such, this is an advanced dive site that should be
led by a guide. |
