Twilight/Night dive includes Primary dive light.
Scheduled every Thursday evening – Check-in and return times will vary by season and site.
A couple of the dive sites we typically use for the twilight portion of the charter are the Carthaginian and Manta Point after which we go to the primary night dive site, hook up the boat and have sandwiches, chips & fruit while we enjoy a Maui sunset on the water.
Once the sun slips below the horizon we gear up go dive!
The Carthaginian sits on a sandy bottom at 97 foot depth and provides a fascinating dive site offering a unique opportunity to explore a sunken ship. She has attracted a diverse collection of underwater marine life and coral in the relatively short time she has been on the sea floor. As the light begins to fade, the old ship takes on an eerie sense of it's past regality. The mast and other interesting aspects of the sunken ship have accumulated many of the rare marine life that grows here in Maui.
At certain times of the year and weather conditions, Manta Point may be an option for the twilight portion as the big rays are much more reliable at this time of day. The obvious highlight of this site is the chance to be in the water with the Manta Rays at the cleaning station. Their gigantic grace is really something to behold.
If the weather co-operates, our primary night dive site will be at the wreck of Mala Wharf where underwater, you'll swim amongst the wreck of a pier taken down during hurricane Iniki in 1992. It has some of the best night dwelling sea life in the area including cone shells, conger eels, slipper lobster, squid, Turkey fish, Menpache, Hermit crabs, Sponge crabs, Spanish Dancer nudibranch as well as Parrotfish sleeping in their mucus cocoon.
Once a month during 2010, Lahaina Divers will be running a special "FULL MOON LANAI NIGHT DIVE" Imagine being inside the Cathedrals by the light of the full moon! Check your calendar for the night of the full moon each month & call for check-in time.
