Our first destination on this trip is world famous Molokini Crater, a marine reserve below water and bird sanctuary
above. The visibility on this reef system averages 100+ feet and provides a
panoramic view of the marine ecosystem. Molokini is one of the few places in the world where you can see Hawaiian garden eels,
Masked angelfish, Long-nose hawk fish and many more fish endemic to the Hawaiian Islands. Frequently Manta rays, White tip reef
sharks, Amberjacks and Moray eels are also sighted. Harlequin shrimp take residence around coral heads and Triton's trumpets and
nudibranchs are found nestled in crevices.
Our second dive is made along Maui's south coast in areas best accessed by boat. Frogfish, pipefish, flounder,
shrimp, crabs, cowries, octopus, rays and sea turtles inhabit the reefs of South Maui. These reefs are also formed on volcanic rock
with many arches and swim-through areas. Sometimes we will visit the wreck of the St. Anthony. This an artificial reef system that
is quite different from the volcanic formations. The wreck of the St. Anthony is developing as an excellent habitat for marine life.
