Pu'uola'i or "Red Hill" (a small crater that towers over the shoreline of Makena) is a site that we dive as a drift dive, moving from the bay just off the Maui Prince Resort toward "Big Beach" and "Little Beach" of the Makena Coast. Moving with the current, if there is one, divers are treated to lava rock formations, caverns, corals and the wonderful—Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle. Once at the edge of extinction, the Green Sea Turtle has made a remarkable comeback and is a real treat to dive with.

Pu'u ola'i is a second dive with a profile of 45 feet max. for the duration of the tank (generally 45 minutes to an hour).
