The last few years I've done mainly Lana'i. Would love feedback on if the Carthaginian is worth doing. I'd probably do it with EH. Appreciate the feedback!
 
YES!!

It's a beautiful ship, sitting upright like she's ready to sail at any moment. When I was there, we found five large frog fish. Also, there's always the possibility of a "drive by" by the Atlantis submarine.

It's a relatively small ship and it's deep, so the dive is short. But I really enjoyed it, in no small part because it had an incredible number of frogfish:

Definitiely do it. Its a 100 foot dive in calm and clear water. The structure of the ship is simple- and empty shell of a hull, deck intact, but bay doors removed so you can safely enter it. Lots of good macro life, and an excellent chance for white tip reef sharks inside or near the ship. Also, the Atlantis sub goes by it, and its fun to greet the tourists on board.

I like diving it every few years. We dove it in the early evening before a night dive.
