Hawaii scuba, Oahu scuba lessons
The Honolulu South Shore provides us with some of the most exciting shipwreck scuba diving on Oahu. The dive sites are close to Waikiki so the boat ride is fast and easy.
Kewalo Basin Harbor schedule
7:30am - 11:00am - Two Tank/Two dive sites - Shipwreck scuba dive site then a reef scuba dive site
11:00am - 3:00pm - Two Tank/Two different Shallow reef scuba dive sites
Sea TigerThe Sea Tiger is the deepest ship wreck on the island. It was sunk as an artificial reef in 1999, is 189 feet long, and is thriving with marine life. It rests in 122 feet of water.
YO-257 WreckThe YO-257 is arguably the most exciting ship wreck to dive. There are actually two ship wrecks to see at this site: The San Pedro (80 feet long) rests only 30 meters from the YO-257 (190 feet long). This is definitely a two-for-one dive. You can expect to see white-tip reef sharks, eagle rays, and even get your picture taken by the occupants of the Atlantis Submarine. That's right, the tourists will be inside the submarine looking out at you. Maximum depth is 107 feet.
Kewalo Basin PipeThis site provides you with easy navigation and the opportunity to see the elusive dragon eel. There is an abundance of aquatic life to observe and photograph. Maximum depth is 60 feet.
Nautical Reef This is a horseshoe-shaped reef with a resident white-tip reef shark. You can expect to see eels, puffer fish, butterfly fish and green sea turtles. Maximum depth is 30 feet.
Turtle Reef This reef is teeming with green sea turtles, cleaner wrasse and eels. These lava fingers extend to and from the shore. It is easy to navigate and fun to conduct photography or just enjoy the friendly aquatic life. Maximum depth is 35 feet.
