Underwater Hawai'i or Maui Geocaches?

[+Kennon136]

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.

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.

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.

This one is in Honolulu, if you end up in the area, and can be done snorkelling.

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.

Could anyone place a trackable for me in Hawaii? If so email me.

 

Thanks
