Description:

Explore the wreck of a double-masted sailing ship in the stunning waters off the coast of Maui for a memorable diving experience. Admire the vibrant collection of ocean life, from frog fish to reef sharks and eagle rays, as you swim around—and into—the sunken vessel.

Named one of the top 25 wreck dives by Scuba Diver Magazine, the Carthaginian is a replica whaling ship that was intentionally sunk in 2005 to serve as a dive attraction. All its confined spaces have been blocked off, so you can safely swim into the spacious pilot house and cargo hold through an opening in the center of the ship.

With its deck resting beneath 80 feet (24 m) of water, the sunken vessel is now home to a new ecosystem of frog fish and white tip reef sharks, as well as traditional reef fish. Keep an eye out for spotted eagle rays that commonly visit the site, or even larger visitors such as manta rays and whales.

One other visitor you might see is the Atlantis submarine, which circles the wreck as children on board wave and marvel at the divers.
