Sheraton Caverns
★★★★★
(630)
Don’t forget your camera on this dive! Not only is the underwater scenery spectacular, but chances for whale and dolphin sightings on the boat ride out is also high. Sheraton Caverns is located just off Poipu Beach and is relatively untroubled by harsh ocean swells.
Humpbacks and dolphins can be seen topside. Living in the lava tubes underwater are plenty of eels, crabs, octopus, lobsters, and shrimp. It’s called “the circus“ for good reason.
