About Carthaginian II Wreck

A steel-hulled replica of a 19th-century whaling ship, sunk off Lahaina in 2005 as an artificial reef, upright in about 95 ft. Boat dive only, from Lahaina; turtles, eels and reef fish live in and around the hull. Tour submarines visit it too.

Carthaginian II Wreck is out in open water, exposed to swell from every side.
Boat access only, from Lahaina Harbor.
Water 100 ft (30 m) deep starts about 0.7 km out.
Blue water (300 ft / 100 m and deeper) is about 6.7 km out.

What spoils the visibility here

Being offshore, it depends on wind and sea state more than on runoff: strong trade winds make the crossing rough.
Heavy rain sends brown runoff into the water for a few days; Hawaii DOH posts Brown Water Advisories when it does.

Rules and wildlife

Green sea turtles and Hawaiian monk seals are protected: NOAA asks people to stay at least 10 ft (3 m) from turtles and 50 ft (15 m) from monk seals.
Rules change: check Hawaii DLNR's Division of Aquatic Resources before fishing anywhere.
