Molokini crater Maui snorkel

This is a compilation of gopro clips from our snorkel trip to Molokini Crater and turtle town (Makena Beach) in Maui Hawaii. The coral around the crater was very healthy compared to reefs on the main island of Maui. The front side of the crater had beautiful reefs that were more shallow. I free dove to around 30 ft and placed my gopro at the bottom to get some of the shots there. The backside of the crater was an incredible site. Underwater cliffs seemed to drop down infinitely and the clear water made it possible to see down over a hundred ft. I free dove to around 60 ft to get some shots there. After this the boat took us to Makena beach on mainland Maui to see some turtles. I used a Gopro 3+ attached to a DIY underwater rig with handles to stabilized the shot while swimming and a gorilla pod attached to the bottom so I could position the camera on the reef to get some close up shots. I also used a backscatter shallow filter 5-25 ft to help with color correction. I also used final cut Pro X to help more with the color correction. Thanks to Blue Water Rafting for a great tour.

[@hyun808]

[@javansarmiento7151]

thats some impressive free diving lol...I cant hold my breathe near that long or with the depth pressure

[@seadweller6263]

Great video man! I have been to Molokini a few times (I have a vid I posted) and Im heading back at the end of this month to do it again. I want to hit the backside this time.

[@thomasdosborneii]

This is really wonderful, so beautiful and also amazing.

[@seattleflyboard3807]

Was this taken in 2016 or just posted then? visited July 2017 and corals seemed much less healthy than in this video. Seems like coral in Hawaii is dying off from the North moving southward...big island is much healthier than maui and maui is much healthier than Kauai. At current rates.....seems like it won't last long in these islands at this point.

Taken in 2016. That's really sad to here. I noticed that much of the cauliflower coral (pocillopora meandrina) colonies were pretty unhealthy or dead but the large porites colonies seemed pretty healthy when I was there. The only site I visited with healthyish looking cauliflower coral was the kapoho tidepools on the big island. In general though the deeper I free dove down the healthier the corals looked.

Nice Work.

[@narvemp]

Just got back from snorkeling in Oahu (Hanauma Bay). I need to try this next! Looks awesome. Those are some pretty amazing free dives, how did you get that kind of depth?

[@joshuaturner]

You just have to equalize your ears and mask.

[@isat2360]

Solo Dios puede crear un lugar tan bello !!!!!!!!!!

[@ohanafun1]

Aloha Josh! I work for MauiActivities.Com and was wondering if you'd give me the permission to show this video on our site...

[@joshuaturner]

Sure! I'm glad you liked it.

[@ohanafun1]

+Josh Turner Mahalo, Bro! When back on Maui be sure to look me up at Ohana Fun 808-214-9283 and ask for Alvaro

Nice 🐠🐟🐡🌴☀️🌊👙

[@coveyjr]

This is awesome! On the shots where you are swimming with the camera, what kind of mount did you use? Also, did you use any sort of filter on the camera?

[@joshuaturner]

DIY PVC mount with handles. Used backscatter flip 4 shallow filter and final cut pro for color correction.

[@chrisdeleon1911]

howd you go that deep without hurting your ears??? I am going to snorkel here and im curious

[@joshuaturner]

Chris Deleon you have to equalize your ears and mask as you go down. It’s something basic you do scuba diving. You can search how to do it. It’s pretty straightforward. Have fun it’s a really cool spot!
