Scuba Diving Black Rock at the Sheraton Maui
Scuba Diving Black Rock Maui information.
Black Rock is located at the Sheraton Maui in Kaanapali, 10 minutes north of Lahaina. This is an easy beginner to intermediate shore dive site with depths to 32 feet. Entrance to the dive is about a 5 minute walk from the parking lot to the north side entrance. And about the same walk from the South side entrance. There is a wall and small coral reef. Some resident Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles come and go here occasionally.
This site used to have one of the most abundant and diverse fish populations on Maui, and was rated a top beach dives in the USA. But over the last 10 years it has suffered a lot of reef depredation, and the sea life has dwindled. So we don’t dive here, except in certain situations. We have a MUCH better site we take people to. Mala Wharf is our Shark Turtle Wreck dive. This is one of the TOP Rated dive sites in the world. We are one of only a couple companies that have the permits to dive here. Give us a call to get on this must see dive in Maui.
Located on the west most facing shore of Maui. Currents can be running along shore from north or south, making for a great drift dive. We do not dive or teach at this hotel. This is for you information, e can take out not far from here though.
