Koko Craters

★★★★☆ (8,725)

A short 10-minute boat ride just outside of Kai Boat Marina sits Oahu’s Koko Crater dive site. Topside views of Koko Head mountain from this side are unforgettable. A great dive spot for beginners.

Not the best site for viewing corals but this site is famous for its turtles! You’ll also see plenty of sea stars, urchins, pufferfish, and crabs.
