Kauai Scuba Diving Travel Tips

  • Head offshore to Ke'e Lagoon, Tunnels Reef, and Cannons—all excellent dive sites from 12 to 65 feet deep.
  • Roam through underwater terrain thick with coral reefs, lava tubes, caves, basalt boulders, and colorful fish.
  • Come in summer when Pacific storms subside. Visibility averages 100 feet in calm water.
  • Challenge yourself in waters surrounding Niihau. Dramatic drops require absolute buoyancy control.


Kauai Travel Guide

On any list of the world's most spectacular islands, Kauai ranks right up there with Bora Bora, Huahine, and Rarotonga. All the elements are here: moody rainforests, majestic cliffs, jagged peaks, emerald valleys, palm trees swaying in the breeze, daily rainbows, and some of the most spectacular golden beaches you'll find anywhere. Soft tropical air, sunrise bird song, essences of ginger and plumeria, golden sunsets, sparkling waterfalls—you don't just go to Kauai, you absorb it with every sense. It may get more than its fair share of tropical downpours, but that's what makes it so lush and green—and creates an abundance of rainbows. Read More
