Molokini Crater, a popular snorkeling and diving site off the coast of Maui, was used as a bombing target by the U.S. military during World War II. From the 1940s to the early 1970s, the Navy and Air Force conducted live-fire exercises there, leaving behind unexploded ordnance.
In the late 1970s, efforts to clean up Molokini began, but some ordnance remains on the seabed. Today, Molokini is a protected marine reserve, famous for its crystal-clear waters and diverse marine life. However, divers occasionally discover remnants of its military past, a stark reminder of its history.
