It gives you a really good chance to work on your bouyancy issues.

It's a monster wall dive, definitely deep, with lots of critters on
the wall and in the blue. I wouldn't do it every trip, but I'd like
to do it again on our next Maui trip.

A very advanced dive, and you'll be the only people on it. It's a
"follow me" dive. You'll have to swim into blue water before you
ascend to keep from meeting up with the rocks and to get to the boat.
