Plongée à Molokini Crater — United States
Molokini Crater is a half-submerged volcanic caldera off Maui's south coast, its crescent shape sheltering crystal-clear water with 50-metre visibility. The 'back wall' drops 100+ metres into the blue and attracts pelagics, while the inner reef teems with Hawaiian endemics. It's heavily visited by snorkel boats, so serious divers should book early-morning charters.
