Molokini Totally Explained

Everything about Molokini totally explained

Molokini is an offshore crescent moon-shaped volcanic crater south of Ma‘alaea Bay, Maui, Hawaii and part of Maui County. It is a popular destination for scuba diving, snuba and snorkeling with many tourist boats coming each day from the south coast of Maui. While it's a popular tourist destination due to its offshore, exotic location, many watersport enthusiast guides note that overcrowding has made the experience less attractive. The islet is a Hawaii State Seabird Sanctuary.
Because this very popular dive spot was attracting large numbers of boats, each potentially damaging the surrounding reef by dropping anchor, the Hawaii State Division of Boating and Recreation established mooring buoys and "Day Use Mooring Rules" for Molokini.
The United States Census Bureau defines Molokini as Block 9000, Block Group 9, Census Tract 303.02 of Maui County, Hawaii. The uninhabited island (as of the 2000 census) has a land area of 0.093 km² (0.036 sq mi or 23.02 acres).

Trivia

Legend has it that Molokini was once a beautiful woman. She and Pele, the fire goddess, were in love with the same man. The jealous Pele cut her rival in two and transformed her into stone. The woman’s head is supposedly Puu Olai, the cinder cone by Makena Beach.

During World War II, the Navy used Molokini for target practice because of its similarity in shape to a battleship.Further Information
