| Beach diving Hawaii Oahu Island East Shore Depth:40 feet |
 The Blow Hole is on the island of Oahu. It is located on the east shore
of the island, just pass the famous Hanama Bay. The movie titled From Here
to Eternity was filmed there. To enter the beach, you must walk down the
side of a cliff. The beach entry looks like a little cove. This makes the
entry and exit very easy to do. The reefs there look like arches and have
a lot of ledges you could look under. Under these ledges are a lot of different
types of reef fishes, some of which you will only find in Hawaii. These
arches were formed by lava flow long ago. This dive site looks like a little
Grand anyon. Large lava rock boulders are situated about 20 feet from the
entrance underwater, making it a spectacular site to see. The  first picture from the left side is the cliff entry. The middle picture
is the cove and the right picture is the formation of the reefs. The depth
here is about 40ft. This dive plan is set for 45 minutes at a bottom depth
of 40ft.The marine life here is very abundant. There are schools of butterfly
fishes, lots of Wrasses, sea turtles and during the winter seasons you
can see a lot of whales jumping up in the distance. The Blow Hole is a
real interesting dive site to visit. The Blow Hole is usually very windy,
making this dive possible on only certain time of the year. When the trades

for 70-75f. (24-26C.).The visibility averages about 80ft |
