Manana Island is the one that looks like a rabbit. But a typical tour to “Rabbit“ island actually dives NE of the nearby Kaohikaipu (Goat) island. An actual rabbit island dive is on the steep wall on the east face that drops to 90’. Large rubble field at the bottom (good shelling).

Rabbit Island is actually called Manana island, but it looks like a rabbit, and the actual 25’ to 60’ drop-off is the typical dive in the area is really NE or the smaller of the two islands at the site, nicknamed Goat Island and called Kaohikaipu. There are no moorings, so it is all drift diving.

Turtle Canyon is an easy, beginner level dive with a maximum depth of only 40ft, and good visibility being common any time of the year. A mild to strong current can occasionally come through, though usually current is little to none. Moorings are present, making for easy ascents/descents.

A short 10-minute boat ride just outside of Kai Boat Marina sits Oahu’s Koko Crater dive site. Topside views of Koko Head mountain from this side are unforgettable. A great dive spot for beginners.

Boat and ocean sports traffic in this area is high so for safety reasons it’s best to do this dive from a boat and not from shore. This old waterline pipe is an iconic dive that looks desolate at first glance but has lots of little critters living in and along it.
