Just a short distance off Maui’s shore, under the stunning Pacific blue water, lies a slice of history. Join us for a 2 tank guided boat trip to dive the Carthaginian wreck and a second, shallower, wreck dive with turtles and sharks.

What to Expect

We leave the Mala boat ramp, just outside of Lahaina town.

Our first dive will be at the Carthaginian, a semi penetrable wreck that rests at 100 feet. The Carthaginian is a haven for white tip reef sharks, turtles, frog fish, eels, and more.

As you descend along the mooring line in the crystal clear water, the outline of a large ship below you gets clearer and clearer.

Finally, at 100 feet, you reach the bow of the Carthaginian, a replica of an old whaling ship. You begin your exploration at the deepest point of the site by circumnavigating the wreck.

Eagle rays, dolphins, and whales (when they are in season) are frequently seen swimming past the wreck in the blue. Guests are regularly treated by visits from the Atlantis Submarine as well.

Next, in the sand around the ship you spot a white tip reef shark and eagle rays. Shallowing up a little, you investigate the Carthaginian itself and find nudibranchs and frogfish living on the wreckage.

Your guide leads you to the penetrable hull, you drop down, and your eyes adjust to reveal another reef shark and a rare ghost pipefish.

As your dive winds up, the Atlantis Submarine travels past and you pose for photos and wave to the passengers who are in awe that humans can actually dive that deep.

After a surface interval and a complimentary snack we will sail the boat to a second dive site and dive a shallower 40ft deep wreck off Maui that is home to sharks, turtles, frog fish, schools of reef fish, and healthy corals.

Once we arrive, you backroll into the water and descend on a condemned pier that has transformed into a vibrant reef. Schools of fish surround the wreckage that has accumulated colorful corals and sponges.

Turtles swim all around in organized chaos as you search for camouflaged frogfish, making it hard to decide where to look. You follow your instructor as they lead you through the obstacle course of the wreck, swimming under and through the old dock where you spot a pregnant reef shark resting under a section of cement and pause to admire her beauty. As you make your way back to the boat you focus on the multitude of turtles that gracefully soar through the clear water.

The wildlife encounters don’t stop underwater, dolphins and whales are frequent visitors, and we always stop the boat to say aloha!
