MAUI MINUTES #5

This is Deep Molokini Crater. Approximately 100 - 150 foot depth, on the backside of Molokini's "Reef's End". I was fortunate enough to have it all to myself and encountered the majestic Pelagic Manta Ray & Uluas drafting it & the huge nursery of Grey Reef Sharks. Simply aweinspiring.

EXCELLENT! I dive and do video with the Aqua Adventure. I've always stayed inside of the crater though. I may have to take a long swim around one of these days. WOW!!!

Aloha & Mahalo. There are definitely some things to see as you get deeper. Aqua Adventures is a SNUBA boat. Too Bad....:):)

Thats Awesome!

Where were you diving in Maui?

[PureDIGITALMaui]

Molokini Crater. One of 3 Calderas in the world.

This was shot on the outside rim called "Reef's End".

Amazing. Aloha.

are Pelagic Ray's giant filter feeders?

[PureDIGITALMaui]

YES. We usually sea common Manta Rays in the crater but this one was a Pelagic Manta Ray, bigger & darker coloring on the bottom side. Aloha.

Great job filming this! The nursery of sharks must have been an amazing experience for you, and the manta ray is simply awesome. I went to Molokini Crater during one of my trips to Maui, hoping to see a manta ray drift right past me. Unfortunately, I never got to see one, but I was inside the inner part of the crater. Hopefully, I'll be able to go back and see one.
