The boat slips quietly away from Kihei before dawn, lights still haloing the street. You feel the ocean wake under the hull—cool, insistent—like someone pulling you toward the crater. By the time the sun softens over Haleakalā, Molokini's crescent rim appears: a black curve in a pool of glass. The captain moors as seabirds circle and the dive team runs through gear with the calm precision of people who read currents for a living.

Molokini is the above-water rim of a submerged volcanic crater and long-used fishing grounds for Native Hawaiians; today it’s managed to balance visitors with reef protection.
The area is closely regulated—anchoring on reef is banned, and divers are urged to practice no-touch etiquette and use reef-safe products to minimize impact.
