Location description: Molokini Crater is without a doubt the most popular offshore dive and snorkel location on Maui. Molokini crater is a marine santuary which was established in 1977 as the Molokini Shoal Marine Life Conservation District. It protects almost 200 acres of underwater area inside and surrounding the crater. Due to the protection granted by it`s protected reef status, the marine life is plentiful and for the most part non weary of divers.
Molokini Crater is a extinct volcanic tuff cone which exploded thousands of years ago. The sea has eroded the face of the cinder wall exposing the floor to the ocean. The tuff cone forms a cresent shaped island. The depth at the center of the island ranges from 20 to 80 feet deep, averaging around 60 feet deep. The outer wall of the cinder is an excellent wall drift dive falling from the surface to the ocean floor below some 350 feet down.
The inner crater region is home to ``butterfly rock`` a favorite hang out for yellow butterfly fish. Moving further from the inside wall is a broken coral and sand region. The coral damage occured before the 80`s when the island was used by the miltary for training exercises, as well as recreactional boaters who carelessly dropped anchor. The center area has been recovering in recent years due to the special attention by dive operators which lead to the installation of permanet mooring bouys and other conservation measures to elminate or reduce damage at the site.
The east tip of the crater at the 125 foot mark is ``Sharks Ledge``. This is a series of outcroppings which whitetip reef sharks love to call home. A drift dive on the east side is a real treat, but care must be taken due to the often swift current and rough topside conditons. The west tip of Molokini is ``Reef`s End`` its the shallow start to a good west wall dive. Like the east wall, care should be taken as currents can be swift.
We offer an excellent boat dive boat trip to Molokini.
Your trip begins early. You will arrive at the Kihei boat ramp at 6:00am. Chances are you will find that you are the first diver at the site, early enough to catch the wildlife before it is spooked by the crowds. When you enter the water you will find the super clear (150’+ visibility) waters of the crater teaming with life.
The dive time will last depending on how everyone is doing on air but is generally 30 to 40 minutes. The depth of the dive at Molokini is dependant upon the skills and ratings of the divers in the party but generally ranges from 40 to 130 feet. Its a fairly common treat to see placid but weary white tip reef sharks at Molokini, and occasionally a large Manta will fly in from open waters to checkout the crater floor.
The selection of the second dive site varies depending on conditions, but generally involves a longer shallow dive to less than 40 feet. Most second dives involve spotting sea turtles, and many other shallow reef marine creatures.
