Kealakekua Bay is a Marine Life Conservation District. It started out as a crater. That is why it gets deeper faster than many other sites. Once moored at Kealakekua, the stern of the vessel is in water of 10'-12' depths and while snorkeling you will see many tropical reef fish families such as the wrasse, butterfly fish, surgeons, parrot fish, and trigger fish, which is the family our state fish the Humuhumu-nukunuku-a-pua'a belongs to. The divers may also see some of the deeper fish like the 'ulua. Kealakekua Bay has a spectacular reef slope, from a 30' reef flat to 100' sand flats. "Fields" of finger and plate coral provide food and shelter for a wide array of reef fish, some of which are difficult to find anywhere else on the Island.

Every cruise has a video-grapher on board who makes a special 45 minute video of each days trip. These are made available for your purchase and make an excellent addition to your memorabilia collection.
