I have been shore diving the Big Island for 30 years. It was, in my opinion some of the best shore diving to be had anywhere. Someone needs to tell the truth about what is happening there so here goes...Coral on the west side of the Island has been decimated in the last two years. Puako for example is 90% dead. Gone also are most of the fish, eels, and turtles. It looks like a nuclear death zone. Even the best spots like Mahu Kona and the Small Boat Harbor are experiencing pronounced die offs (they looked fine 18 months ago). Long stingy green algae is everywhere. Two Step, is in the best shape of any spot but it also has been impacted severely .
