Papawai Point

The diving here can be spectacular, although the entry is for advanced shore divers only. Check it out to see if you are comfortable. The left side is almost always exposed to the occasional bigger waves that roll through, bigger even when it seems there is no surf. The right side entry is actually in a semi-protected cove. The exit (same way) is almost always just a matter of swimming up, taking off fins, and walking up a gradual slope. The reef drops off quick into some sand, and depths of 27 meter plus are quickly accessible. Directions: Papawai Point is found at about the mile 8.7 mark on Highway 30. Look for the Turnout on the ocean side.
