Second Cathedral is so named, not because it is second in beauty, but because it is the second cavern you reach when traveling by boat from Maui.
You descend and land atop a spectacular pinnacle surrounded by clear water. Following your guide, you pass frolicking fish, large moray eels, and healthy coral as you make your way to the entrance of Second Cathedral.
You mindfully navigate towards the central hall, as your instructor uses their torch to highlight the walls revealing colorful sponges, psychedelic nudibranchs, and other small critters.
Moving deeper into the cavern’s side chamber, a rare black coral formation hangs like a chandelier from the ceiling above you. Penetrating further still, you exit through a lava shoot accompanied by bandit angelfish, loop around the outside of the cave and enter again through a shallower opening in the cavern.
