Two undetonated World War II ordnance off Molokini Crater will be left in place until a nonexplosive removal option is developed, the state Department of Land and Natural Resources said Wednesday.

A crescent-shaped volcano crater that is partially submerged, Molokini doesn't feature sandbars, meaning the water clarity is superior to some of the other snorkeling spots around the island.
