Black Rock is on the site of the Sheraton Hotel. It’s unfortunate that there is so much development surrounding this point, but the dive is well worth it, nonetheless. You’ll need to park in the public garage, and hike with equipment-on-back down to the beach area.

Directions: Travel North on Highway 31 until mile marker 24, then turn left onto Ka’anapali Parkway. Follow the road around to the right until you end up at the Sheraton Maui. There you will find a garage for public parking.

Mokule’ia is another great dive and snorkel site, but it’s a good hike down to the beach. A great place to spend the day with the kids, so bring a cooler with food and water.

Directions: Travel North on Highway 31 until about mile mark 32.6. You can’t miss the bay off to your left.

Honolua Bay offers a good experience for both snorkelers and divers. You may, however, be a little fatigued after the quarter mile hike down the private access road. But if you are up to it, you’ll find the dive rewarding.

Directions: Travel North on Highway 31 until about mile marker 33. You’ll notice a small access road dropping off to your left.
