Why dive here
Monolith is a dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Monolith, off the coast of Hawaii, offers a unique geological dive. Here, you'll navigate around a towering volcanic pinnacle that juts up from the seafloor. It's a great spot for advanced open water divers looking to explore dramatic rock formations and the schooling reef fish that shelter around them. Visibility can vary, but on a good day, the scale of the Monolith is impressive.
