We have been following the fate of the Cricket Two over the past year. Our concern was this notorious shark killing vessel, once put up for auction, might end up in the hands of someone who saw the media potential of it as clearly as we did…for the promotion and continuation of east coast shark kills. That event happened this week as new owner Jon Dodd, 47, a regular at shark fishing tournaments in Montauk, said he plans bring this vessel back regularly for shark tournaments. $51,000 bought Mr.Dodd the finest pro shark fishing media machine money can buy on the east coast. Our attempts to purchase this vessel outside of the auction failed – even though a preemptive offer of $150,000 was sent to the wife of Frank Mundus. Complete story here [ This is an external blog.

Honomalino Bayis on the island’s southwestern coast. The nearest major town is Naalehu, HI. This lovely black-and-white sand beach is not well known. It’s 90 meter or so long, backed by scads of coconut trees, decent swimming when calm (which is often), usually deserted, and a 20-minute walk from your car. Though one of the larger south Kona beaches, it eroded considerably during the 20th century.
The parking area is at Miloli’i County Park and you have to hike in from there. It’s a great snorkel area. Swim out a ways, and wait. If you’re lucky, the dolphins will come right up to you and swim under, around, and beside you.
To get there, start at Miloli’i Beach Park. Go to the end of the road, and you’ll see bathrooms and a yellow church (Hauoli Kamanao Church). The public access is between them. (A left fork is private property; the right fork is yours.) If it’s high tide, you’ll get your feet wet near the beginning. Don’t be intimidated by the dizzying array of Keep Out and No Tresspassing signs at the trailhead. About 3-4 minutes into the trail after some tide-pools and a palm-backed spit of sand, reacquire the trail at the back part of the sand and continue south for 15 minutes. There may be a few fallen trees to hop over. The snorkeling on the right side of the bay is interesting when calm in the cluster of rocks. There is a small cave there where a 6-foot white-tipped reef shark often rests.
This site is located at the southern side of Kealakekua Bay. a notch in the reef at the right side of the park (facing the ocean) that makes for an easy entry. Manini Beach offers a nice small shaded beach area with picnic tables. As you sit under the trees, you have a nice view of Kealakekua Bay. Kealakekua Bay is the place where Captain Cook landed back in the 1700′s. You can see the Captain Cook monument from the main sitting area at Manini Beach. There is not much of a white sandy beach here, but there are lots of places you can walk along the rocks and the tidal pools to look for shells and broken coral pieces.
The reef here consists of (almost) unbelievably large coral heads. Visibility is generally excellent, but the dive is shallow.
Directions:
From Kona go south on Queen’s Hwy. Turn west (toward water) on road to Kealakekua Bay to the dead end (boat launch straight ahead) (parking area to view Capt. Cook’s monument to right) and turn left until road makes a sharp bend to the left. Look for a 2 story blue house. Entry to Manini beach is just behind this house. Continue past house for parking spot.

The Locals call this place TOILET BOWL.
DO NOT try to exit the same place you entered the hole. Go south about 35 meter and get out on the point of rocks south of the little inlet. This is best if the surf comes up but be careful as this is for advanced divers only
Directions:
On the Big Island, go North on Highway 19 from Kailua Kona about 7 miles to Natural Energy Road (Last road West before the Airport). Drive about 1 mile West to the point where the paved road turns north. Turn South on the Dirt road. Drive (VERY CAREFULLY) about 500 yards to a gate which should be open during the day. Go about 100 yards past the gate and look to the ocean. You will see 3 large lava heads along the ocean. Within the lava heads is a cove with an arch on the ocean side which is partially submerged. There is a nice exit on the South side of the hole right by a rusted piton which is there. Gear up and jump in to the cove. Drop down to the bottom, about 4.5 meter, and swim out under the arch.
