Scuba Diving with Hawaiian Spinner Dolphins - Lana'i, HI - 08/21/13
Amy and I dove with Extended Horizons in Maui during our 13th Anniversary vacation. We took a charter from Mala Pier, Lahaina, across the channel to Lana'i. Once we got in the water for our second dive at 2nd Cathedral, our Dive Master, Mark, heard the dolphins and quickly led us to them. We watched them for about 10 minutes and saw around 50 Hawaiian Spinners cruising by before we continued the dive. Once we got back on board, the Captain, Jarrett, said he saw upwards of 500 swimming through. Definitely a highlight of our vacation. If you ever decide to dive while on Maui, I highly recommend Extended Horizons. They were extremely professional and eco-friendly.

Carthaginian II shipwreck- Lahaina, Maui, HI
Edited from my comments are in { }
The Carthaginian II shipwreck was installed a half-mile from Lahaina, Maui in 2005 at a depth of about 95 feet (with its mast located at 60 feet). {The masts were knocked off by a tsunami in 2012- ed.} It was a replica of a whaling supply vessel that served as a floating museum in Lahaina Harbor. While the dive site is located offshore, the site is only accessible by boat. Divers must remain in the footprint of the shipwreck and cannot ascend or descend when the Atlantis Submarine is in the vicinity, to avoid problems.
{ ED.- I dove this wreck on 4/5/2014 with Maui Dreams Dive Shop. There was about a 1.5Kt current that made it a difficult dive and maximized air consumption. My total bottom time was only about 20 mins due to the effort required to kick against the current to stay near the wreck while the Atlantis circled us. It is a nice dive but I would say only divers with Nitrox, deep diving and experience in diving in currents should attempt this dive}

Vising Maui Hawaii from Sky and Under Water - flight search - under water camera
The island of Maui is the second-largest of the Hawaiian Islands at 727.2 square miles (1,883 km2) and is the 17th largest island in the United States. Maui is part of the State of Hawaii and is the largest of Maui County's four islands, bigger than Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi, and unpopulated Kahoʻolawe.
Native Hawaiian tradition gives the origin of the island's name in the legend of Hawaiʻiloa, the navigator credited with discovery of the Hawaiian Islands. According to that legend, Hawaiʻiloa named the island of Maui after his son, who in turn was named for the demigod Māui. The earlier name of Maui was ʻIhikapalaumaewa.[6] The Island of Maui is also called the Valley Isle for the large isthmus between its northwestern and southeastern volcanoes and the numerous large valleys carved into both mountains.

2013 Military Landing Craft Wreck Dive Maui Hawaii.
Because of Hawaii's role as a training site for the U.S. military during World War II, the islands' have a wealth of sunken ships, landing craft and planes, many of which have still not been discovered.The landing craft, which had tracks like tanks, could transport troops from ships onto land, and then drive up onto the beach and farther inland. A number of the landing craft now rest off South Maui, where they sank during training exercises more than 70 years ago, he said.
This was a combat landing area, and they would invade the beaches over and over again.
The wreck sites have historical significance, not just because of the way the war and military presence shaped Hawaii's history, but because the techniques soldiers practiced here, including amphibious landing and naval aviation, were critical to the outcome of the war and forever changed how the modern military would operate.
Both of those were really practiced here in Hawaii, and that's why there's so many of these resources around, he said.
During World War II, before major invasions in the Pacific, U.S. Marine Corps and Army personnel trained in landing craft and assault vehicles along Maui's southern coast from Maalaea Harbor to Ahihi Bay. Overhead, aircraft from the Puunene Naval Air Station on Maui conducted combat practice runs. Amphibious operations and naval aviation proved to be two critical innovations of World War II that ultimately helped the United States triumph in the Pacific.
Developing these tactics was dangerous, and many planes and landing craft, and occasionally the lives of servicemen, were lost around the islands. Today, the legacy of that period can be found in near-shore waters, where sunken aircraft and shipwrecks provide recreational diving sites, as well as habitat for marine species.
The wrecks along the coast are like windows into the past and they remind us of the sacrifices made during World War II, said Hans Van Tilburg, NOAA's maritime heritage coordinator. The information collected during this project will help us better understand this chapter in our history and its significance to the Pacific.
For now, details surrounding the sinking of the assault vehicles near Makena, Maui, and the specific identity of the F6F Hellcat, remain mysteries pending further research. Details will be posted on the project's website as they are available.
Video recorded in 1983. Machine gun @ 2 minutes 4 seconds on the right side of the video was removed by looters as well as other pieces of the wreck over the next few years.

Hawaii Ocean Project False Killer Whale Sighting

Maui Dive Sites - Mala Wharf
Mala Wharf near the Lahina was a well used pier that blew down in the hurricane over 20 years ago. It is a great shore dive out of a little boat harbor. This facinating dive site has thousands of corals growing on the old pier pilings at about 20 feet deep. One can see how much coral has grown since the pier collapsed into the sea and all kinds of reef fish and sharks live in the caves and cracks made by the pier when it fell. The water is usually clear and calm the new coral reef is pristine.
