About This Dive Spot
Rabbit Island, also known as Manana Island, features a notable drop-off ranging from 25 to 60 feet. The dive site is located near the smaller island, commonly referred to as Goat Island or Kaohikaipu. This area is characterized by drift diving, as there are no moorings available. Divers can expect to encounter schools of barracuda, and there is a good chance of spotting monk seals, eagle rays, white tip sharks, and dolphins. The reef is relatively healthy and sees infrequent diving activity due to its distance from the nearest harbor, approximately an hour away.
