Glide across Kauai’s south-shore reefs on a two-tank DPV (diver propulsion vehicle) dive from Koloa Landing. Small groups, guided ecology briefings, and cavern routes like Sheraton Caverns make this a top pick for advanced certified divers.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You stand on the sun-warmed concrete at Koloa Landing, salt on your lips and a bright dive flag snapping overhead. Beneath the surface, a different pace rules—currents nudging you through pockets of reef, cavern mouths yawning like doors to another world. The TUSA DPVs hum to life and, with one easy throttle, you’re gliding over coral gardens at a steady 3–4 mph, the reef below daring you to look closer.
