About This Adventure
Embark on a thrilling 7.5-hour scuba expedition around Lana’i, exploring iconic dive sites like the Cathedrals and hidden gems such as Menpachi and Kaumalapau. Experience breathtaking underwater landscapes, encounter pelagic species, and enjoy the chance to see dolphins. All gear is provided for an unforgettable adventure tailored to your skill level.
Duration
7.5 hour, 3 tank scuba expedition.
About
While the Cathedrals are the primary “bucket list” dives of Lana’i, there are so many lesser known sites that you don’t want to miss. For instance, Menpachi offers multiple swim throughs and arches, and the Kaumalapau drift dive wows everyone above and below the surface. This dive is sometimes called Barge Harbor since it’s outside the harbor on Lana’i’s western coast, nestled among stunning cliffs. These dives allow more chances to spot pelagic species that cruise the nearby deep water, and of course, Lana’i always has a strong chance of dolphins!
Skill Level
Minimum: Open Water Certified (ages 15+) Lana’i is perfect for intermediate- advanced divers, but with multiple dive possibilities, the dive plan can be designed to suit your group's abilities. If you are a beginner diver, or it’s been a while since you dove, booking the Maui Coral Reef charter first to tune up your skills can help you make the most of this expedition.
