Golden Arches
★★★★☆
(397)
Golden Arches is your typical Hawaiian reef dive off the Kona coast. Visibility gets better the deeper and further away from the surf zone you get. Check conditions as the current can get strong here at times.
You’ll see the typical Hawaiian reef fish like trigger fish, angel fish, moorish idols, eels, and surgeonfish. Manta rays have been known to frequent this area as well.
