2nd Cathedral -On Lanai named after First cathedral only because of it's size.
2nd Cathedral is the larger of the two cathedral dives. This sight has two main
chambers with a break in the middle with two huge arch ways. There are several
entries into this lave tube. Depending on the conditions for the day you may
drop through the ceiling of the main chamber or you may shoot through the dark hole. Which ever way you enter be sure to take your time on the inside. There are several varieties of rare coral growing inside, as well as interesting marine life. Be sure to check out the ceiling of this cavern there are wondrous things to be seen. Large
eels are common at this site. There is a very large and friendly trumpet fish
at this dive site who does not mind coming face to face with you. This dive
site is best done as a 70 foot dive for 35 minutes, although there are areas
that can get deeper on the outside of the cavern, so watch your depth.
My friend and former dive leader Casey Coy shot this little Media file when
he was last here...oops on the typo on spelling Lanai but a beautiful little
video of 2nd Cathedrals...check
it out! THANKS CASEY
