Two Women Drown in Maui’s Calm Waters | San Francisco News

Two women lost their lives in a tragic ocean incident off Maui’s Koki Beach — one died at the scene, the other remains in critical condition. Emergency responders, including an off-duty firefighter who surfed out to save the first, battled to revive both, but only one survived. Officials haven’t released names or confirmed if the women were together, though calm waters and snorkeling activity are suspected. This heartbreaking event underscores Hawaii’s deadly drowning crisis — especially in remote, lifeguard-free areas like Hana — where snorkeling poses serious risks. Visitors must prioritize safety, assess their abilities, and never underestimate the ocean’s power — even when conditions seem peaceful.
