2 Tank Lanai Cathedral Scuba Dive Via Boat for Certified Divers
Overview
Dive Lanai’s famous caverns, lava shoots, swim throughs, and arches on Maui's most popular 2 Tank boat dive.
Ancient lava flows have created a stunning underwater landscape on the neighboring island of Lanai. We love the underwater topography of caverns, lava shoots, swim throughs, and arches and you will too. Your experienced captain will determine the days sites based on conditions but you can expect to dive Lanai’s famous Cathedrals along with other locations.
Our group sizes are small with 14 or less divers and you will receive special attention from your instructors who will guide you on 2 exceptional dives and answer all of your questions about the marine life.
Our custom built boat, Hoku is the fastest and most comfortable boat that crosses the channel. Dolphins and whales are frequent visitors and we always stop when they say hi.

What To Expect
Divers meet at our dive shop at 6:30 AM to check in and get fitted with rental gear. We often see dolphins and whales during the crossing and always stop the boat. The captain decides where we dive based on conditions, but you will almost always dive one of the Cathedrals and another spectacular location. When we arrive at our first site we do a short briefing and then suit up and dive into the crystal clear waters of Lanai.
As there are very few dive boats diving on Lanai we try to pick a site where we are the only people in the water. We do 60 minute dive, air permitting, to depths around 50 - 75 feet. After the first dive we do a short surface interval where we have a snacks or optional lunch. Then we dive again to a depth of 50 - 70 feet for up to an hour.
After the dives we break down the gear, take in the stunning topside scenery, and talk about what we found on our dives as we make our way back to Mala Wharf.

The answers provided below were previously given in response to questions from Cool Hawaii customers.
Filter by:
Yes, we allow pregnant women to go on snorkeling. However, it’s crucial to consult with your healthcare provider before doing so to assess your individual health and pregnancy stage.
Jan 2022Yes, this is possible, as long as you are comfortable going into the water. All Cool Hawaii snorkeling tours adhere to strict safety regulations and have been designed to be enjoyed by all.
Your safety is our #1 priority, which is why:
- You will be wearing a flotation device at all times.
- On many tours, there is a stairway from the boat into the water so you won’t have to “jump” in!
- There are trained staff in the water and watching from the boat at all times.
For these reasons, we believe that even non-swimmers can have a wonderful time on our snorkeling trips, however, the final judgment call is yours to make. Please note we do not give refunds if you decide not to snorkel on the trip.
Oct 2021The snorkel gear we use on Cool Hawaii tours is high quality and for your protection, the equipment is sanitized after each use. However, if you feel more comfortable using your own snorkeling equipment, feel free to bring it on the tour. Please note, there is no discount for providing your own equipment and we can’t be responsible for any lost or damaged items.
May 2023Participants in the 2 Tank Lanai Cathedral Scuba Dive Via Boat for Certified Divers cannot fly in an airplane within 24 hours of their dive.
The main concern with scuba diving and flying is decompression sickness (DCS). Your body needs adequate time during an ascent to off-gas excess nitrogen, or you can form bubbles in your bloodstream, possibly leading to DCS.
Jun 2024First-time snorkelers can be assured of one-on-one instruction and assistance. We find introducing folks to our world very rewarding!
Oct 2021There are no legal age limits for snorkeling. We have found that age 5 or 6 is a good age to learn the basics of snorkeling, however, it’s entirely up to individuals to make the best choice for their family.
