Vertical Awareness
★★★★★
(47)
Diving Vertical Awareness off of Lehua, Kauai is a remote location for advanced divers looking for a real adventure. This rock wall drops off to over 130 feet deep with possible strong currents but the amazing topography and chance to swim with the endangered Monk seal make it all worth it!
Wildlife encounters include larger marine species like the endangered Hawaiian Monk seal, turtles, Galapagos sharks, wahoo, and tuna.
