Why dive here
Sea Tiger is a wreck dive where divers can encounter blue sharks, sea turtles and sperm whales. Water ranges 25-28°C, warmest August, September, October.
The Sea Tiger is a purposeful wreck, sunk in the late 90s to become an artificial reef off Waikiki. We usually find it’s a good second dive, sitting upright in about 30 meters of water. There's a decent penetration if you’re wreck-qualified, letting you duck into the cargo holds and engine room. Expect to see white tip reef sharks napping on the deck, big schools of snapper, and often a few patrolling barracuda. It’s a solid wreck dive for anyone comfortable with that depth, offering plenty to explore without being overly challenging.
