Why dive here
The Mahi (Wreck) is a wreck dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Mahi is a good introductory wreck dive in Hawaii, sitting upright on the sand at 27 metres. We usually drop onto the bow, which is a good spot to get your bearings before swimming back towards the stern. Open sections let you peek inside, where schools of snapper often hang out. Keep an eye out for green sea turtles napping on the deck or cruising by. It’s a solid dive for anyone new to wrecks, offering plenty to see without being too challenging.
