Wreck and Lava Tube Questions

What certification level is required for wreck and lava tube diving?
Advanced Open Water certification is required, with wreck diving or cavern diving specialties strongly recommended. These dives involve overhead environments and potential penetration activities that require advanced skills, experience, and specialized training for safe exploration of confined underwater spaces.
How deep are the wreck and lava tube dive sites?
Wreck sites typically range from 50-80 feet deep, while lava tubes vary from 30-70 feet depending on specific locations and entry points. All dives are planned according to participant certification levels and experience, with conservative depth limits and mandatory safety stops for advanced diving safety.
Is wreck penetration allowed during these dives?
Limited wreck penetration is allowed in designated safe areas with proper training and safety protocols. Penetration is restricted to areas with multiple exits, adequate lighting, and structural integrity. Our dive masters provide specific briefings on safe penetration routes and emergency procedures for each wreck site.
What marine life inhabits wrecks and lava tubes?
Wrecks attract large pelagic species including barracuda schools, jacks, sharks, and rays that use these artificial reefs as cleaning stations. Lava tubes shelter white-tip reef sharks, green sea turtles, and various tropical fish species. Both environments support unique marine communities adapted to these specialized underwater habitats.
What safety equipment is provided for advanced diving?
We provide specialized underwater lights, emergency signaling devices, dive computers, and safety equipment specific to overhead environments. Each diver receives backup lights, emergency whistles, and safety sausages. Our dive masters carry advanced safety equipment including emergency oxygen and first aid supplies.

Fabulous Road to Hana 7

We did the Road to Hana tour in Maui and it was amazing. We took so many beautiful pictures. Our tour guides name was Kalei, he made the tour great, he was very informative and made sure we knew when to have our camera ready. I would definitely request Kalei from Hawaiian tours to be our guide if we ever make it back to Maui 7.
