Au Au Crater
Also known as: AuAu Crater
Au Au Crater is the remains of an underwater volcanic crater whose ocean-facing side has fallen away. In the shallower reef at around 9 m, divers find many nudibranchs, lionfish, frogfish, dwarf eels and a cleaner shrimp station. Where the crater gives way to a steep drop-off, ornate, raccoon and milletseed butterflyfish gather, along with good numbers of Tinker's butterflyfish, which usually live deeper. Turtles and jacks are common, and eagle rays and sharks, most often hammerheads and oceanic whitetips, are possible. Dive The World calls it one of the most dramatic sites around the Big Island.
