Shore Dive with Sea Turtles @ Koloa Landing for Certified Divers

Kauai is famous for many things but perhaps none more than being one of the leading natural sanctuaries for the Green Sea Turtle. With a lifespan of over 100 years and sizes exceeding 5 feet in length

Kauai is famous for many things but perhaps none more than being one of the leading natural sanctuaries for the Green Sea Turtle. With a lifespan of over 100 years and sizes exceeding 5 feet in length, they are truly a sight to behold. In Kauai, the Honu seem to have embraced the Aloha spirit, frequently greeting divers with curiosity and interest. Having been protected by the endangered species act since 1979, the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle has very little fear of the divers that visit their home. We're fairly certain they would throw you a "shaka" as they swam by, if only they had opposable thumbs. With over 1,250 endemic species in the Hawaiian Islands, the Honu is just one of the many exciting animals you will experience on your tour. Macro photographers will be thrilled by the vast diversity of nudibranch, cowries, pipefish, and colorful crustations. Explorers will love the variety of eels, schooling blue striped snapper, perching hawk fish, and shapeshifting octopus.

Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this dive experience? Can kids join?

A: The dive is meant for certified divers, so kids under 12 usually can't join unless they're certified themselves. If you're looking for a family-friendly option, maybe check with Seasport Divers about other activities they offer for younger kids. But for this specific dive, age isn't the only concern; they need to be comfortable in the water too.

Q: How's the parking situation at Koloa Landing?

A: Parking at Koloa Landing can be tricky during peak times, but there's usually enough space. There's a small lot, and sometimes you'll have to park along the street. Just plan to arrive a little early to snag a spot, especially if you're diving on the weekend.

Q: What should I wear for the dive? Do they provide everything?

A: You don't need to worry too much about what to wear since they provide wetsuits, fins, and masks. Just wear your swimsuit underneath, and maybe some water shoes if you have them. Don't forget sunscreen for after the dive! You’ll also want a towel and a change of clothes for when you're done.

Just booked the Shore Dive with Sea Turtles! Any tips?

Hey everyone, I just booked the Shore Dive with Sea Turtles at Koloa Landing for next month! I'm so excited to see the Honu up close. I've been diving before but never with turtles. What should I expect? Any tips on gear or the dive itself would be awesome!

Anyone done the turtle dive recently?

Thinking of getting this Shore Dive with Sea Turtles for my boyfriend’s birthday! He’s a certified diver. Just wondering how the experience was for anyone who's done it recently. Were there a lot of turtles? Was it worth it?
