Fire House

Entry to this site is behind the fire-station, wading out a small rocky cove. Explore the left of Shark's Cove along a line toward Waimea Bay. There are numerous spacious caverns. Exit at Three-Tables. It begins with a bouldery topography (watch for nudibranchs), then gives way to lava tubes (to the left) or a long ridge (to the right, in front of the Firehouse). At this point there is a canyon in the reef. You can take the canyon all the way to 3 Tables. Look in the nooks and crannies in the canyon as there is crab and lobster hiding in the holes. (Don't take them this is a protected area). You can also head out straight to sea. Where the rocks meet the sand you can left or right. Right and you can take the wall to Sharks Cove. Turtles frequent this area. If you are really good on air you can turn around and exit where you entered. If not go into Sharks Cove and exit at Sharks Cove. If you choose to left where the rocks meet the sand after heading out you can take the wall all way to 3 Tables. This site gets to about 50 feet and there is a bit of a current. Right as you make the left turn just into the wall there is a cave where a white tip shark hangs out at once in awhile. Don't forget to check the top of the reef as there are Eagle Rays that do come in. The Eagle Rays can also be spotted in the sand past the outer reef. There are several caves on the way to 3 Tables. Lots to explore. Check all the nooks and crannies as nudi brancs are very common around here. To the left is a great feature we call the Skylight. There is also a wall 7.5m tall with an inland sand channel. This site takes many, many dives to adequately explore.
