Molokini Crater
★★★★☆
(1,233)
Sitting just off the Hawaiian island of Maui, Molokini Crater is probably one of the most famous places to dive in all of Hawaii. This former crater is accessible by boat dive departing from Maui. This is a very busy dive site but there are several different areas to dive.
You’ll see the typical Hawaiian reef fish on both sides. On the shallower side look for fields of garden eels swaying in the sand. On the backside look for manta and eagle rays, sharks.
