First Cathedral
★★★★★
(352)
Just off of Maui sits the small island of Lanai. You can stay on this island but most people opt for staying on Maui and then taking a dive charter over to Lanai just for the day. First Cathedral is Lanai’s most popular dive site featuring a two-story underwater cavern that will take your breath away.
Most people come for the breathtaking lava tube openings in the cathedral but you’ll also get to see turtles, sharks, lobsters and an array of fish, including the endemic Bandit Angel.
