Five Sisters dive site

Overview

Description

This advanced drift dive on Lanai’s west side is not to be missed. Five Sisters is so named for the rock formations along the coast grouped together that help us navigate to the correct drop area. The underwater pinnacles, wall and reef are home to myriad marine life. Pay close attention to the reef and rocks because well camouflaged animals like scorpion and frogfish are easy to miss. Your guide will be carrying a torch and if they shine it on something come in for a closer look but give your eyes a moment to adjust before swimming away. Drifting along is great because the boat follows the diver’s bubbles at the surface and picks everyone up so there is no need to worry about finding a mooring or turning around and swimming back to the entry point.
