| This dive site is
directly inshore, half the distance from Turtle Street. The reef
rises to within 10 feet of the surface. At some point during its
creation, seismic activity split the formation, leaving a valley
100 feet below. The wall is a vertical drop and its counterpart
is 100 yards further inshore. This dive is concentrated along a
200-yard stretch of the seaward side of the wall. Its top has abundant
variety of fish, colorful coral, arches and overhangs. Little pukas
can be found through one side of the wall, which leads to the Turtle
Street site. The valley itself is known as the Haleiwa Trench. About
20 yards off the wall is a large coral mount that seems to be part
of the original structure still standing. The pinnacle is 100 feet
across and rises to within 35 feet of the surface. A dozen turtles
rest on the mount and are very comfortable around divers. |
