About this site
Cathedrals at Lana'i lies off the southern coast of Lana'i in Maui County, Hawaii, a stretch of water known locally for its lava formations and swim-throughs. This particular site is considered suitable for beginner divers. It is reached by boat from Lana'i or Maui, and the lava rock terrain in this area typically forms arches and chambers where light filters down through openings in the rock.
