This dive site is located on the Molokini back wall, known for its significant depth of 300 feet. Because of this considerable drop-off, buoyancy control is essential during the dive. Divers should maintain awareness of their group and the guidance provided by the instructor. The experience offers a drift dive along the wall’s slope, providing opportunities to observe a variety of marine life. You might encounter nudibranchs, scorpionfish hidden within small openings, as well as moray eels and octopus. Looking out into the open water reveals chances to spot grey reef sharks or Galapagos sharks; with luck, you could witness a manta ray or even a whale shark gracefully passing by. The area is also home to schools of butterflyfish, snapper, trevally, and angelfish. This drift dive presents a remarkable way to explore all that the Molokini back wall has to offer.
