The coral reefs within the crater support abundant marine life which is among the most diverse and impressive in Hawaii. The waters in and around Molokini are designated. as a Marine Life Conservation District (MLCD), which makes it a strictly protected marine reserve.

Sea turtles may not be approached or harassed at any time.
- Make sure you avoid contacting the bottom at all times and stay out of the shallow water immediately next to shore. Keep hands and feet well away from any rock or coral, and use a floatation device if you need help swimming or if it is required by your guides.
- Feeding fish or introducing any material into the water that could attract marine life is strictly prohibited. Fish feeding can change the type of fish in the reserve, stimulate aggressive behavior, and reduce normal grazing patterns that maintain, a healthy reef.

- Avoid excessive splashing' and creating load noises that can disturb both protected marine life and seabirds.
