Oahu’s shipwrecks have unique stories, but they were sunk as artificial reefs. The YO-257 and Sea Tiger are not the only wrecks we have, but they are the biggest and best on our side of the island. These dives tend to be about 100’ deep and are far enough offshore for pelagic encounters. These wrecks are covered with amazing animals, from small nudibranchs to big reef predators like jacks and rays. We often see turtles and sharks too. This is the premier dive trip for experienced divers.
