Carthaginian

Carthaginian Wreck Dive in Maui

Once a floating museum in Lahaina Harbor, the Carthaginian II now rests in about 100 feet of water just outside Lahaina, making it one of Maui’s most iconic wreck dives. This deep dive features a dramatic descent onto a steel-hulled sailing vessel, now an artificial reef teeming with marine life. The second dive takes place along the scenic West Maui coastline, where shallower reefs offer a colorful contrast to the wreck site.
