Where was the diver's BRAIN?? 
Hapuna Beach was closed Friday after a diver found an unexploded ordnance.
The diver found the device off the shore of the popular beach park and brought it to land, state Department of Land and Natural Resources officials said.
A park caretaker was notified at about 8 a.m., he said. Police then set up a 100-foot perimeter around the object while a contractor was called in to determine if it could be dangerous, he said.
Once that was confirmed, the beach was evacuated, which took about 30 to 45 minutes, Takebayashi said.
DLNR spokeswoman Deborah Ward said the diver had brought the device to a concession area. “I understand he moved it somewhere back into the snack shop area,” she said. “By which time people were figuring out we should leave this thing alone.”
