Description:

This dive site is hugely popular and features the wreck of the Mahi that was sunk in 1982 for use as an artificial reef. It is roughly half a mile off the shore. The Mahi was used by the Navy to lay cable; the Dillingham Corporation bought it in 1982. It lies upright on a sandy floor and faces seaward. Visibility is anywhere from 50 to 100 feet. This dive site boasts large amounts of marine life, including spiny puffer fish milletseed Butterfly Fish, Ta'ape, White Tip Reef shark and eagle rays. The wheelhouse is perfect for photo opportunities and it boasts red and yellow encrusting sponge, hydroids and snowflake coral.

4 out of 5 stars Great Dive

I chartered the dive through Aaron's dive shop and we were the first to leave the dock. It was a group of eight and two guides. We descended via line due to the surface current strength. The dive was amazing, ten spotted eagle rays off the starboard side, an octopus, snowflake eel and lots of other marine life. The wreck is too damaged for entry but the scenery accompanied with about 70ft vis made the total scenery amazing.
