Kona Coast Hawaii shore diving (need info)

Hi All.
We are heading to the Big Island in December, and my son and I want to try
shore diving in Puaka Bay. We normally do boat diving, but for the cost,
this looks like a great way to do
it.
First off, anybody experienced with shore diving at Puaka bay, and can you
give us any pointers.
Second, is there a good spot to rent tanks and weights that is close by
(Kohala)

Thanks in advance.
Randy

This answer has nothing to do with shore diving. I went to Kona last
year and had a great time. Trip report available at,

Never use a big word when a diminutive one will do.

First off it is Puako. Kohala Divers can rent you tanks. Be advised
the our December swell comes from the west and northwest. Puako is open
to the west and northwest. You also want to dive early, before the wind
comes up. Puako is about 40 miles north of Kialua-Kona, so depending
where you are staying it may be a bit of a drive.

I went with one of the day operators and we had a hell of a Manta Ray
Dive. I love that DVD.
