The Mahi

Description:
This dive site is hugely popular and features the wreck of the Mahi that was sunk in 1982 for use as an artificial reef. It is roughly half a mile off the shore. The Mahi was used by the Navy to lay cable; the Dillingham Corporation bought it in 1982. It lies upright on a sandy floor and faces seaward. Visibility is anywhere from 50 to 100 feet. This dive site boasts large amounts of marine life, including spiny puffer fish milletseed Butterfly Fish, Ta'ape, White Tip Reef shark and eagle rays. The wheelhouse is perfect for photo opportunities and it boasts red and yellow encrusting sponge, hydroids and snowflake coral.
