Keep in mind that there are just as many dangers (if not more) in their waters than in ours. I didn't have to learn the hard way because I was prepared. For example, if you are an avid scuba diver/snorkeler you need to know what types of creatures you will encounter. I had been to Kawai back in '92 and did some snorkeling in a "tidal pool" next to our condo. It had some moray eels and a juvenile scorpion fish. The eels can bite, but were very passive while the fish is a poisonous species that can possibly kill. Needless to say if I wasn't wearing neoprene gloves (webbed surfers gloves makes swimming a lot faster) I wouldn't have gone near these fishes.
If you have the chance, and are interested in diving/snorkeling, there is a nice cove/lagoon in Poipu (poe-e-pu).
Have a blast, but be safe!
