About this site
6th Hole sits off the west coast of Hawaii Island, in the district commonly associated with the Kona coast. Its coordinates place it just offshore of the leeward shoreline, an area characterized by lava rock formations dropping into the Pacific. Divers here have reported dusky and goldring surgeonfish, yellow tang, saddle wrasse, Pacific bullethead parrotfish, and green sea turtles moving over the reef, along with patches of hump and rice coral on the bottom.
