Site details

Edge of the World is a back-wall Molokini site where ledges and shadowed wall terrain drop into very deep water. It is a serious advanced-to-technical profile: divers can stay recreationally shallow, but the terrain invites depth creep beyond normal recreational limits. Treat it as a guided boat wall/drift dive for divers with excellent buoyancy and gas discipline.
