+Kennon136 Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 Does anyone know of any underwater geocaches on the Island of Hawai'i or on Maui? I am specifically looking for geocaches accessible by snorkeling, not diving or using scuba gear. I have found archived underwater geocaches but no active ones... Hope someone can help.

+geofred Posted September 10, 2012 Share Posted September 10, 2012 As a frequent visitor I, too, would like to know of this type geocache. Had fun attempting to do one that turned out to be defunct at the last "fishing" stage. Quote Link to comment
+sillygirl & jrr Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Aloha, I believe on Maui there are no active underwater caches. The Earthcache, "snorlleling a volcano" requires a commercial boat trip to a snorkeling spot. On the Big Island there are at least two caches near Hilo that require getting wet: GC38XK0 is a multi with an underwater stage and GC39932 is on dry land, but you have wade/swim to get to it There are also 2 earthcaches in the Puna area at places you can snorkel GC2TDPK & GC1PR24 There are a couple under water caches here on Oahu. Just FYI, the strong offshore currents & waves around the islands mean these sorts of caches generally require lots of maintenance & are often short lived. jrr Quote Link to comment
+rav_bunneh Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) This one is in Honolulu, if you end up in the area, and can be done snorkelling. http://www.geocaching.com/seek/cache_details.aspx?guid=20b0fb78-94dc-43a4-8e49-1376ff07f2ef Edited September 11, 2012 by rav_bunneh Quote Link to comment
+Cupcakebby Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Now you guys just got me all excited. Underwater ones for serious?! Oh yay. I'm gonna wait a few days to see if the owner does some maintenance. ( ie. put in a new log) It seems the last cacher might have dropped it in the ocean by accident. Quote Link to comment
jsweeney1 Posted September 22, 2012 Share Posted September 22, 2012 Could anyone place a trackable for me in Hawaii? If so email me. Thanks Quote Link to comment
