The collapsed remains of Lahaina's Mala pier - knocked down by Hurricane Iniki in 1992 - now form one of Hawaii's best artificial reefs in only 10-35 ft of water. The fallen concrete slabs and pilings shelter resting whitetip reef sharks, abundant green turtles, frogfish and dense fish schools. The area was affected by the August 2023 Lahaina wildfire, but the boat ramp and dive site have reopened and diving has resumed.
