Morning light slices across the harbor as the boat eases out of Kikiaola — the Pacific meets you with a steady breath, urging you into the blue. On this southwest Kaua'i outing, two dives mean twice the chance to meet the island’s underwater cast: hawksbill turtles gliding over coral gardens, curious reef fish schooling along jagged ledges, and the occasional reef shark slipping through an arch.
