It’s day and a crescent moon can be seen in full view in the sky reflected in the sea, only that it isn’t the same luminous, intangible vague image that lands on water; it is a crater conceived of a volcanic eruption, composed entirely of stone, and being partially submerged, the prevailing portion bears an uncanny resemblance to a crescent. Being all stone, snorkellers’ sight can cut straight through the pristine waters without being distorted by a screen of sand run-off from a beach, providing an absolutely spectacular display of a community of marine life in rich abundance frolicking about a vibrant reef of effervescent corals and beckoning sea anemones. Floating in the waters warm with sunlight, head facing the blue expanse of the sky above as feet under water kick to stay afloat, it becomes easy to become wonderfully lost in nature’s blue above and below. Of stone formation and warm lively water, the Molokini Crater is a sensual experience that reminds of nature’s generosity in providing this bounty of serendipitously intersecting natural elements that cannot be replicated by men to the same effect.
