The Sea Tiger, Oahu Hawaii

The Sea Tiger is the deepest regularly dove wreck in Hawaii. Over 45m (150ft) long, this wreck has two stories about how it came to rest here in a protected area off Waikiki. The first is she was a forcibly retired smuggling vessel, and the second most realistic one is she was sunk in 1999 by a local company as an artificial reef. Chances are the company who sank her started the smuggling vessel rumours to help boost trade, either way it is a very nice wreck to dive.

She can often still be accessed when other dive sites are washed out due to weather often found in these waters.

 The Sea Tigers' top deck is found at 30m (100 ft) and the wheel house at 21m (70 ft). You can venture down further as the wreck is resting on the sand bed at 36m (120 ft).

White spotted eagle rays, large puffer fish, filefish and an occasional frog fish are the most commonly sighted animals on this wreck, with the occasion chance of seeing passing dolphins.
