Mala Wharf
★★★★★
(1,105)
Mala Wharf is one of Maui’s best dives and easy to get to! It’s a shore dive just off of Lahaina. Watch out for boat traffic and rough sea conditions.
This old wharf acts as a great artificial reef with corals growing on it as well. Lots of your typical Hawaiian reef fish are found here including turtles and eels.
