Site details

Advanced boat dive on two adjacent artificial-reef wrecks off Waikiki: the larger Navy yard oiler YO-257 and the smaller San Pedro fishing vessel. The pair is often dived as a dual-wreck route, with turtles, reef sharks, eagle rays, trevally/amberjacks, and a visible tourist submarine route. Penetration is possible only for trained divers and should remain guide- and conditions-dependent.
