Mala Wharf (Pier), Lahaina, Maui, HI. Great recreational dive.
Dive is around an old concrete pier that was destroyed by a hurricane. Large concrete blocks form great habitat for a wide variety of sea life. The site is considered a "wreck" because it is a man made object. The old pier stretched far out from shore so larger ships could be used to transport pine apples to market.
Recreational Dive. My first recreational dive after finishing the SDI Open Water Diver Certification. Did half a tank and took a break to do the next dive listed. Fourteen pounds weight was barely enough to descend. added more weight on second dive same site. No exposure suit. Walk out entry across rocks hard on feet. Other divers had solid sole boots on feet.
Saw turtles and a Reef Shark along with many other sea creatures. Took some great pictures Great dive site that is very popular. Free parking with restroom and shower at parking lot.
**Found out later that the BCD had a problem with a valve and was not releasing all the air. That is why I needed so much weight.
