Sea Tiger Wreck
Oahu · United States
The Sea Tiger is a 160-foot former Chinese shrimping vessel scuttled in 1999 adjacent to the YO-257, forming one of Hawaii's most productive double-wreck dive sites. Its intact wheelhouse and hold create labyrinthine swim-throughs colonised by black coral bushes, lobster, and ghost shrimp, while large yellowfin goatfish and moray eels claim the darker recesses. The two wrecks are close enough to explore on a single dive, rewarding navigational divers with twice the life and twice the structure.
