About
Lana’i is known for its Cathedral dive sites where you swim through underwater lava tubes lit by stain-glass like holes in their roof, but those are two of MANY incredible dives in the crystal clear waters just across the ‘Au’au Channel. Keep your eyes peeled for pelagic species. See stunning feef habitats at sites such as Fish Rock, Shark Fin, Sergeant Major, and more. Also, keep your eyes peeled for dolphins! All dive gear is included.
Skill Level
Minimum: Open Water Certified (ages 15+) Lana’i is perfect for intermediate divers, but with multiple dive possibilities, the dive plan can be designed to suit your group's abilities. Most Lana’i dives descend below 40ft, so Jr Open Water divers are better suited to our Maui Coral Reef dives. Dive sites can be chosen that cater to snorkelers as well.
