About this site
Dragon Reef off Maui offers vibrant coral gardens teeming with tropical fish, turtles, and occasional reef sharks. The lava rock formations create swim-throughs and overhangs, perfect for exploration. Clear waters and mild currents make it ideal for all skill levels. The reef's shallow sections allow long bottom times, while deeper areas reveal larger pelagics. Warm Pacific waters ensure year-round diving with excellent visibility.
