Shore Dives in Kaua'i

[Diver Gal]

I will be going to Kauii in May and am wondering what shore diving is available. I have snorkeled Tunnels Beach and have heard it can be done as a dive as well.
Thank You,

I haven't dove there but this site could be helpful. Take opinions there as just that, not necessarily facts.

Here is a good place to start. Scuba Shore Diving Site Listing for: Kauai, Hawaiian Islands

We dove Koloa landing, the vis was bad the first day but terrific the next. We will be returning in July, hoping to shore dive the tunnels as well.

May is the beginning of the good conditions for Tunnels, still a possible chance of late winter swells, but the afternoon winds might not be as strong as high summer. In other words your odds are good. Local weather can still have negative impact on any side of the island. Most of the shore dive sites are on the south side and the summer swells should not be excessive yet. Plan for Tunnels but be prepared to drive south if necessary.
