Best Freediving Spots! | Freedive Big Island | Puako | Kona Freedivers
In this freedive adventure, Byron and Zaz head North of Kona to Puako to check out one of the best freediving spots to freedive Big Island. Puako is known to freedivers and scuba divers for its numerous swim throughs and turtle cleaning station. It was a bit of a green day out there but we still had a blast playing on the reef and cruising among the many schools of fish! A stop at Kohala Burger afterwards made a great end to a great day.

Hi. What spots did you go to swim in La Jolla? Yesterday, I went to La Jolla Shores. I saw leopard sharks, skull of fish, a bigger fish and a big sting ray. The water was mercury so it was hard to see
haha this video is epic
Brah the crab was dancing to tha music!!!
Ama Hula!
I like that gray wetsuit.
Thanks!
Get rid of the crappy ass boyfriend too.
Jealous much? We're getting married now!!!
@@konafreedivers3970 we'll see how that's going in a few years. Good luck.
Get rid of that crappy ass Nissan and get a Toyota. 👍
Jealous much? It's ironic you say that because before we got towed out (by a van) a toyota tacoma tried and couldn't get us out!
@@konafreedivers3970 liar
The soundtrack was sweet. I had to replay the video just to listen to the music with my eyes closed.😀
Glad you enjoyed it!
You guys literally got no shots at all of the reef. That spot is literally my front yard but I haven’t dove out there yet the footage you showed I didn’t see a single fish except for the hammerhead and I was disappointing until I heard you say that the reef was amazing. At any rate thanks for sharing.
Sorry! It was beautiful reef though! Not a ton of fish however.
Iv got 8 days on the big island coming up and would love a few free dive recommendations. My partner and i are comfortable to around 50 feet perhaps more in better conditions. So anything in that area would be great!!
Sure. Here's an article we wrote with recommendations. Top 15 Best Snorkeling Spots on the Big Island konasnorkeltrips.com/blog/top-15-best-snorkeling-spots-on-the-big-island/
Ya I think I'd be getting a real 4×4 after that
Hehe!
I have a newbie question here; I’ve just taken the basic Naui freediving course, and there was a lot of talk about, having one’s buddy on the surface while one is diving. When does that rule apply? Mainly for much deeper dives?
It applies for every dive. Your buddy should always be on the surface while you are diving as you never know when you could experience shallow water blackout.
Mahaʻoi!!!
Shoots!
where in puako exactly is this spot? we are going in late September and I love to free dive.
It's near the end of the road on the right. If you miss it you'll hit the end and just turn around and it's the first thing you'll see. One of our favorite shore dive spots!
Aloha your videos rock!!!
Thanks Apneic! Happy to hear you like them.
This brings back awesome memories! Thanks!
Your welcome Arthur. It's such a magical spot! And shallow too!
Amazing! Thx for sharing? Mind sharing the location ? My son really wants to try it...
It's shell beach or cove. There's a rock that the seals sit on. Great spot.
so sick!
Glad you liked it Bryan. There's so much to see in the shallows you don't have to go deep to see things.
This was a fun video :) I’m diving the cove tomorrow and this just got me stoked!
Yay! Love this spot!!
Beautiful reef. Looks like Ka'u area. The Green Sand Beach.
It's a nice spot but tough to get to!
I love that spot. Back in 91 I lived there and dove this spot all the time. Why no new videos in a while?
Yeah, it's one of the best for sure. Still kinda sleepy. Sorry! We were out last weekend and Byron fell betweent he boat and the dock and sprained his knee. We'll get back at it! Promise 😉
@@konafreedivers3970 This is bringing back some memories. Back in '91, I worked for the Hyatt Regency Waikoloa, which is now the HIlton, I think. I worked part time for the scuba shop in that hotel, it was called Red Sail Sports. I got to do a lot of diving and I think about it a lot. There are so many beautiful spots on the island.
Hi hello How dolphin is kind cute many follow help wise follow your body swim beach womens in world
That's what I'm saying!
Me, 20 seconds.
Aloha Kylie!
@@konafreedivers3970 Hello.
lovely music. the inverted arch walk was innovative 💡
Some fun thigs freedivers can do that even space men can't!
maintain attitude and say hello to the sea turtles 🐢 thank's.
3:04 Friendly neighborhood crab: “Don’t mind me. Just passin through….” 🦀
Hehe yeah
yeah boy
Glad you like Usop. Where do you dive?
@@konafreedivers3970 i never dive yet.. still train to get license haha
Morocoo Casablanca
Is that where you're from?
Great...
One of our favorite spots. Have you dove Kona yet?
If you can... Get off road tyres
Hehe. Already did!
From San Diego, visiting Kona right now watching your Kona Diving videos! Glad you got to enjoy the sea life in La Jolla. There really is an abundance even in the shallows off of La Jolla shores/The Marine Room.
We'll be back! It was so good. Where are you diving in Kona?
@@konafreedivers3970 We visited several beaches along the west coast of Kona. North to Mauna Kea Beach, Beach 69, and south to Captain Cook, Two Step, and South Point. A few in between as well. The one I would want to go back to the most would be South point; such a unique environment near deep open ocean, rough seas and crystal clear water!
Gotta love Chris 🤣🤙🏼
He certainly has a certain way of interpreting things 😜
This is golden
Glad you liked Gina. Subscribe for more antics!
You're #1
Hehe. Really?
Get good lol Saw you guys leaving the harbor from Hbay
Aloha Evan, Now you know what we were up to! 😎
I like the pooping fish logo on his hat, very fitting for the occasion.
Chris has a 'unique' sense of humor
Congratulations Chris “FUNADS” lol 😂 Solid 6 plus minutes..that’s awesome bro 🌮 power!
The spirit of the mexican people lies deep within his bowels 😌
Perfect Duck dive there 👌🏾😃
Ha Thanks!
Holy Cow!
Holy breathhold Batman!
Congratulations mr @moistmaninis ! Must have been the Taco Bell
It's called the chalupa challenge
Interesting video footage. My only suggestion would be for both of you to carry a long sharp spear to keep a aggressive sharks away from your body. Fortunately, the shark in the video wasn't interested.
Spearfishing? Yeah we do that too! We've got something in the worx Jerald . . .
Clean. Clear
I know right! Surprising based on the windy conditions
Dead. Coral
Aloha Arnold. The coral at this spot was actually quite good in comparison to many places. Are you talking about all of the yellow coral? That's actually alive!
Sharky
That's what makes it fun!
Air down your tires, buy a small compressor to refill them after. Oh and maxxtraxx.
Got the compressor and the maxxtraxx thanks!
Love the video
Thank you!
Great video! , thanks for sharing that ... also great attitudes when stuck! ... impressive
hehe. Thanks Andrew, it never feels good but in the end there's always a solution!
Danger to yourself and others
Thanks for watching Jonathan. You should see our next vid! Thant's a fun one!
ALOHA! I used to swim at Paniau all the time and other various spots along the coast. One of my favorites was Two-Step. I took a boat tour of the coast once and got to swim up and down the coastline a little. I love the Big Island! I once saw a HUGE honu at the Kona harbor swimming, he was so BIG , but I am double guessing myself, maybe it was a manta instead. E malama pono!
2 step is the spot! We do our deep training there. Glad to hear you have fond memories of your time here. Where do you live now?
@@konafreedivers3970 Aloha! I moved to Honolulu in 2008. More family over here. I still have cousins and aunties in Hilo.
Brings back such memories! I miss the Big Island! I am not a diver, but I did hike and swim at various places <3
Maybe time for a revisit!?
@@konafreedivers3970 I wish lol. I’ll probably never go back to the Big Island. Lots and lots of memories and good times, but those times are passed for me. I’ll watch the videos now 🤙🤙
Yeah, been there myself, my brother and I got stuck in the boonies in a 4 wheel drive!! We aired down, and used pine tree branches and rocks got us out! Took us around 3 hours to get out!! Much patience, and a good head on your shoulders is needed in those terrifying moments. I say terrifying because no one else was there, and phones did not work... It's at that very second that your brain clicks and goes into "holy crap mode" Glad you two were able to get help, that angle didn't look good, it also could have rolled to one side!
Yes yes & yes! You are sooo right. Glad to hear your ingenuity got you out! 😂
We go to that spot and other places close by most the time you have the place to yourself because it is difficult to find and difficult to drive There is another place we go where the sand and dirt are even softer. I deflate my tires (which helps a lot) and some old car mats or carpet can get you out of a jam
Lesson learned John! We will be prepared next time. Do you get in the water?
