About this site
Napili Bay sits on the northwest coast of Maui, between Kapalua and Kahana, a crescent sandy bay backed by resorts and condominiums. Access for divers and snorkelers is typically from the beach at the bay itself, with rocky points on either end of the crescent offering reef structure. The dive here reaches a maximum depth of around 24.4 metres over a reef bottom and is rated intermediate. Divers have reported butterflyfish, reef sharks, snapper, and wrasse around the site.
