Advanced Waikiki wreck with strong current.
Advanced Waikiki wreck with strong current.
Boat access and wreck briefings are typically handled through a local charter or dive operator.
The Sea Tiger is a deep artificial reef off Waikiki, reached by a short boat ride and best suited to advanced wreck divers. The wreck offers open deck structure, limited penetration, and a dense fish-and-coral community, but the site can have strong current and visibility that shifts with conditions. Plan on a line descent and tight gas margins.
Site Conditions
Safety Notes
Strong current, depth, and any enclosed sections are the main safety considerations. Keep penetration within training and briefing limits.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; this is an advanced wreck dive and any penetration should stay within supervised, trained limits.
Legal Notes
Treat the wreck as a supervised artificial-reef dive and follow the briefing, buoyancy, and penetration limits set by the operator.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Advanced recreational scuba is the fit; the wreck's open structure rewards good buoyancy, and limited penetration may be allowed under supervision.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive site because it is an offshore wreck at advanced depth.
Snorkeling
Not a snorkeling site; the wreck is too deep and too far offshore for casual snorkel use.
