The Hawking-Moss tunneling rate for a field described by the Dirac-Born-Infeld (DBI) action is calculated using a stochastic approach. We find that the effect of the nontrivial kinetic term is to enhance the tunneling rate, which can be exponentially significant. This result should be compared to the DBI enhancement found in the Coleman-de Luccia case.
