Molokini Crater Underwater

  • Best timeMorning (best visibility 7-10 AM)

Crystal-clear water with up to 150-foot visibility inside the partially submerged volcanic crater makes it one of the world's premier underwater photography spots. Reef sharks, eagle rays, and tropical fish abound.

Tips for visiting

  • Morning tours have best visibility before afternoon particulate. GoPro with wide-angle lens works excellently. Underwater housings for mirrorless cameras capture the best images.
