Molokini Crater is without a doubt the most popular offshore dive and snorkel location on Maui. Molokini crater is a marine santuary which was established in 1977 as the Molokini Shoal Marine Life Conservation District. It protects almost 200 acres of underwater area inside and surrounding the crater. Due to the protection granted by it's protected reef status, the marine life is plentiful.

Molokini Crater is a extinct volcanic tuff cone which exploded thousands of years ago. The sea has eroded the face of the cinder wall exposing the floor to the ocean. The tuff cone forms a cresent shaped island. The depth at the center of the island ranges from 20 to 80 feet deep, averaging around 60 feet deep. The outer wall of the cinder is an excellent wall drift dive falling from the surface to the ocean floor below some 350 feet down.
