Shore Diving Big Island, Hawaii - Old Airport Dive Site | Kona Honu Divers
Some of the best shore diving on the big island is found in Kona Hawaii, and local Kona dive shop, Kona Honu Divers ( can give you a guide to the best shore diving big island tips & trips! Old airport dive site is great diving and it's about a 5 minute drive from the shop! It's well protected from the usual NW swell so it's a good option when sites like puako are not diveable. We took Laura Roberts of Dread Pirate Pottery along for a great shore dive. Old Airport dive site has some nice perks. Arches, blue water pelagic fish, and nice coral are just a few of the highlights. Old airport beach park is also a fantastic place to have picnic lunch after the dive with shower and restroom facilities along with shaded benches for chillaxin

Magic Sands Beach Park and La'aloa Beach Park (Kailua-Kona, Big Island, HI)
Having a look around La'aloa Beach Park / Magic Sands Beach Park. It's in Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii!
Magic Sands Beach Park
Address: Ali'i Drive, Kailua-Kona, HI 96740
Hours: Closes 11PM
Public park with white sand beach & rocky shoreline, offering lifeguard-overseen swimming & surfing.
------
Laʻaloa Bay is a popular recreation area in Kailua-Kona, on the Big Island of Hawaiʻi.
Also known as Magic Sands or White Sands Beach, the official name is Laʻaloa Beach County Park. During calm weather, it is one of the only fine white sandy beaches in the Kailua-Kona area.
It is also sometimes called Disappearing Sands, since the sand is washed out in a storm several times a year. A strong surf break on the shore can be dangerous, but makes it a favorite for bodyboarding by experienced locals, even under moderate surf conditions.
Just north of the beach is Pahoehoe Beach County Park. Although the shoreline here is rocky lava with a few coral pebbles, there are picnic tables, restrooms, and running water.In the Hawaiian language, la'a loa means very sacred.
Several Archaeological sites are in the area.
The ruins of haukalua Heiau (an Ancient Hawaiian temple) are on a point just south of the beach, at the parking lot which was added in 2000.
The stone structure was cleared and restored and a small ceremonial platform (lele) constructed by descendants of the people who lived in this area for hundreds of years.
A small rocky cove south of the point is popular for scuba diving in calm conditions.
In 1994 after the County of Hawaii announced plans to build an 80 stall parking lot, Hawaiian Kupuna (elders) helped form a group known as the La’aloa Ohana (family). This led to agreements being made to create a Hawaiian Cultural/Educational center in 1995. In June 1995 more than 13 members of the La’aloa Ohana were arrested for attempted camping, even though according to police reports a majority of ohana had left the park, prior to its closing. The ohana continued to advocate for complete Preservation Planning and in 1997 a detailed Community based Preservation Plan was completed. The effect of this Plan was that only 25 parking stalls could be developed. While the County of Hawaii said in the 1997 Environmental Impact Statement that they would install protective measures for the Historic site prior to any construction, in 2000 they built the parking lot, and as of 2014 the Protective measures have yet to be completed.
In August 2014, based on the continued advocacy by La’aloa Ohana members, the State of Hawaii Historic Preservation Division, supported by the Department of Land and Natural Resources Conservation Investigators, forwarded to the Mayor of the County of Hawaii a scathing letter and demand they implement all of the Protective measures, or potentially they could face millions of dollars in fines. In December 2014 the County of Hawaii is currently starting to implement the Preservation Plan. Unfortunately many of the historic sites have now been severely damaged.
Based on the ongoing and tireless efforts of members of the La'aloa Ohana, on May 10, 2017 the County of Hawaii announced it would be closing the parking lot at La'aloa Beach Park on May 17, 2017, indefinitely, due to the ongoing desecration caused by the parking lot. Please visit the La'aloa Beach Park Facebook page for additional information, we look forward to your kokua.
It is located on Aliʻi Drive in the Kona District at coordinates 19°35′38″N 155°58′17″W.
About a mile to the north is Holualoa Bay, and a mile to the south is Kahaluʻu Bay.

Lyrics:
I'm feeling kinda strange
Feeling kinda off
Don't know what's really going on
I feel like something's up and I can only guess the cause
It doesn't matter when, doesn't matter where
always hits when I'm unprepared
I just feel like it's something new everyday
Where did I go wrong?
I hate having to worry
but I'm so lost
I'm always in a hurry
and I know that
things in life will always settle down
And if they don't then I won't let it get to me
Does it ever end?
Does it ever slow?
Why do my thoughts always seem to go
Somewhere far away where I can't hear myself
Day by day, and after time
I just need to lay down the line
I can only take so much until I fall apart
Where did I go wrong?
I hate having to worry
but I'm so lost
I'm always in a hurry
and I know that
things in life will always settle down
And if they don't then I won't let it get to me

Manta Ray Night Dive close to Kailua-Kona Hawaii with Big Island Divers and Manta Ray Advocates
Had a great Manta Ray Night Dive with Big Island Divers (bigislanddivers.com) on Big Island Hawaii, (second dive with them that day). First one (afternoon) was great too: dolphins, barracuda, manta's, garden-eels, great coral reef and so on. But this one was even more amazing, otherwordly, ......
These giant creatures are virtually harmless, feed on plankton (by filtering), are thought to be intelligent (high brain mass to body mass ratio) and can reach a wingspan of more than 5 meters (16 feet) - just some facts :)
We, as scuba-divers, sat on the oceanfloor (about 10 m / 30 ft deep), rocks on our laps, around a campfire of light having been positioned there by Big Island Divers at the start of our afternoon dive to attract plankton. We also used our flashlights. Snorkelers were also present at the surface looking down to enjoy this spectacular show. Mantas passed all the time, sometimes only cm/inches away, had to duck or lean/lay back often to prevent hurting them.
Thanks to Manta Ray Advocates(MantaAdvocatesHawaii.com) for this video.
Will post my own videos soon though they are of less quality of course :)
Visiting Hawaii?: Book this one!!! and buy the photos and video. Definitely worth the bucks.

Kona Hawaii - The BIG ISLAND is old Hawaii at its best.
Kona Hawaii is the most popular staging area for tourism on the Big Island of Hawaii. You can go mountain biking, surfing, scuba diving, explore active volcanoes or just hang out around town in Kona. There is only a small dock and no cruise ship terminal so ships visiting Kona use their tender boats to get passengers to shore.
This video is an original work created with photos and video I took in Kona Hawaii. Special effects and graphics were created on my computer with video editing software.

Hawaiʻi, also called the Island of Hawaiʻi, the Big Island or Hawaiʻi Island (/həˈwaɪ.i/ or /həˈwɑːiː/; Hawaiian: [həˈwɐiʔi] or [həˈvɐiʔi]), is an island located in the U.S. state of Hawaii. It is the largest and the southeastern-most of the Hawaiian islands, a chain of volcanic islands in the North Pacific Ocean. With an area of 4,028 square miles (10,430 km2), it is larger than all of the other islands in the archipelago combined and is the largest island in the United States. The island is often referred to as the Big Island to reduce confusion between the island and the state. It is coterminous with Hawaiʻi County and includes the Hilo Micropolitan Statistical Area.
As of the 2010 Census the population was 185,079.[3] The county seat and largest city is Hilo. There are no incorporated cities in Hawaiʻi County (see Hawaii Counties).
