I found some bandit angels near Miloli'i, too
Curious to where you entered the water at Miloli'i.
I did a total of 6 dives in Miloli'i - 4 from the old dock/boat launch off the ladder (Milioli'i Bay) and then 2 from an unmarked site that also had a ladder but was much closer to Papa Bay.
There's usually a rope there...Garry still brings his rope, too. Best to bring a rope in case the water has destroyed the current one.Thanks for the reply. Two years ago we did two dives at the site close to Papa Bay (second picture in your post). When we dove the site our guide brought his own ladder (knotted rope). Is there a permant ladder now? On that trip we dove Miloli'i X2, Pebble Beach X4, 2-step X4 and Ke'el X2 . We are headed back this September for a week. Any other sites on the island that you recommend on the Kona side of the island?
