The reason for this is simple. The reason why the visibility levels of the water deteriorate is because of sediments that get either churned up off of the bottom, or by runoff from a nearby landmass. Molokini is surrounded by rather deep water and is generally fairly calm water. This keeps the amount of sediments down because there is a generally very small amounts of sediment being churned up off of the reef of the deep water that surrounds the island acts as a buffer zone to absorb most of the runoff from the nearly islands of Maui, Kahoolawe and Molokai.
