Sea Tiger
SOUTH SHORE / HONOLULU
Depth: 70 - 120 ft | Currents: Mild | BOAT DIVE
One of Oahu's most popular shipwrecks this vessel sits between 70 and 120 ft of water upright off the southern coast of Oah'u. Originally a Chinese trading ship, the Sea Tiger was sunk to create an artificial reef in the 1990's. Home to eels, green sea turtles and many more this wreck is a must for any visiting this beautiful state. On some days you may be lucky to find a white tip reef shark around the sandy bottom or spotted eagle rays passing by.
YO-257 and SAN PEDRO
Depth: 70 - 95 ft | Currents: Mild to Strong | BOAT DIVE
Y0-257 is a 157 foot Navy oiler that lies in 120 feet of water just a couple miles off the southern coast of Oahu. This ship served in the Navy seeing action in World War II, the Korean War, and Vietnam War.
The San Pedro is located close enough to the Y0-257 that experienced divers, on a good day with little current, can actually explore both wrecks on one dive. The San Pedro is a 125 foot long decommissioned hospital ship.
Both ships were sunk in the 1990's to form an artificial reef. Divers have enjoyed swimming with green sea turtles, octopus, nudibranch, puffer fish, white tip reef sharks, and many other types of fish found only in Hawaii!

Makaha Caverns
Depth: 30 - 50 - ft | Currents: Mild | Shore Dive
Makaha Caverns is a shore dive on the west side of the island that can also be accessed by boat. Plenty of amazing swim throughs where you can find sea turtles and white tip reef sharks relaxing under the reefs. Good buoyancy skills are recommended for this dive as the surge can make it a little challenging for newer divers.** Due to the distance to the site from shore this is really only accessible using a diver propulsion vehicle.
