This photo shows what the
Cathedrals at Lanai looks like. The depths here are in the sixty foot range. You
are looking into the entrance of the Cathedral. The Cathedral is so big inside
that 20 divers at one time can enter. There are several openings to the rear
which can be used for exits. As the light shines through the openings it gives a
Cathedral looking effect to the inside of the lava formation. A light may be
taken down to explore the ceiling of the Cathedral. There is much color and
growth to see. Also one may find an eel or two living here. This is one of our
popular dives from Maui. Many divers visit the Cathedral each year. Once the
inside is explored you will exit out the rear and explore the outside of the
lava formation where an abundance of Marine life can be seen. This dive is
fairly easy and Open Water divers who wish to explore the large lava formation
can experience this dive as well as Advanced Divers and above. This is a daily
45 minute trip by boat from Lahaina Harbor. As you enter the water you will make
a decent to about 25 feet to the top of the lava formation and than follow the
dive guide to the opening which is in 55 feet of water. Here you will experience
the excitement of The Cathedrals.
