    Koko Craters is a solid spot for newer divers in Hawaii, with a maximum depth of 12 meters. We like it for its ease, making it a good choice for a relaxed afternoon dive or a refresher. You'll often find green sea turtles resting on the sandy bottom, and we've seen plenty of reef fish flitting amongst the scattered coral bommies. It’s a gentle introduction to Hawaii's underwater world.
