Sea Tiger Wreck

The Sea Tiger Wreck is a sunken Chinese vessel lying upright on a sandy bottom in the Honolulu area off Oahu, Hawaii. It was deliberately sunk in 1996 by a submarine company and has since become one of the deeper recreational wreck dives in Hawaii, resting at 120 feet (36.6 m) at the bottom, though dive depth is generally conducted between 80 and 100 feet (24–30 m), with a maximum recreational depth of around 100 feet (34.7 m). The wreck is largely intact despite some interior decay, missing wood planks, and a collapsed bridge, and it is large enough to offer multiple swim-throughs and penetration opportunities through the cargo holds, mid-ship section, and bridge — all with easy entries and exits.

Marine life at the Sea Tiger includes schooling fish, moray eels, nudibranchs, eagle rays circling the structure, white-tip reef sharks, and green sea turtles. While coral growth on the hull is limited, the wreck consistently attracts abundant marine life throughout its decks and interior spaces.

The site is reached by a short boat ride, and diving is conducted with mooring or guided boat access serving the Honolulu area. Visibility is generally great, and current is light. Water conditions can vary, but the site is known for reliable conditions suited to wreck exploration.
