About this site
Wailea Point is a reef at Wailea Beach on Maui, where over 5 acres of hard corals grow on a lava rock base. Divers can see everything Hawaii has for sea life here, from the shallows to the edge of the reef and beyond.
Manta rays are often seen on the reef. They can be found in as little as 10 feet (3 metres) of water, but mostly swim at 20 to 40 feet (6 to 12 metres). The reef dive suits beginners as well as advanced divers.
