Mole Heaven

This shore dive site is best accessed by a swim from Jameson's Restaurant at Haleiwa Beach Park to the green buoy (buoy # 3) on the starboard side of the channel. Visibility is poor on the surface layer (about 2-3 feet), but this clears about 60 feet deeper down. This site is a maze of many channels with walls that stretch from 25 feet to 3 feet below the surface, and are 12 to 15 feet across. The channels are separated by a silt bottom which has an offshore end that narrows to the width of a single diver. It is advisable to explore this site heading towards the shore. The many pukas are filled with small lobsters and a few tiger cowries. This site is inaccessible by day but all the creatures come out at night, making it an excellent site for night diving and photography. This is an advanced dive site that should only be attempted when led by a guide.
