About this site
This dive spot off Hawaii's coast features dramatic lava formations, creating a maze of arches and tunnels. Warm Pacific waters host vibrant coral community, with frequent sightings of eagle rays and reef sharks. Strong currents attract pelagic species, making it ideal for drift diving. Visibility often exceeds 100 feet, revealing the fiery-hued corals that give the site its name. Best suited for intermediate divers due to occasional surge.
