Why dive here
Hanakaoo Beach is a dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
Hanakaoo Beach offers a relaxed shore dive, ideal for those looking for an easy entry and a casual swim. We typically find various reef fish milling about the rocky bottom, sometimes a green sea turtle cruising by. It’s a good spot if you’re new to shore diving or just want a chill afternoon exploring without a boat trip. Visibility can vary, but it’s generally calm enough for a comfortable dive.
