Scuba Dive or Snorkel - Ship Wreck & Reef Tour Honolulu

Honolulu Shipwreck Scuba & Reef Snorkeling Tour – Oahu, Hawaii

Explore Oahu’s underwater world on a two-stop scuba and snorkel tour that blends historic shipwrecks with active reef ecosystems. This guided tour departs from Honolulu and allows experienced divers to dive down on iconic wrecks such as the Sea Tiger or Corsair, while snorkelers may float over coral gardens abundant with reef fish, rays, and turtles. Whether you're diving deep or floating at the surface, you'll witness a unique combination of marine history and wildlife backdropped by Oahu’s stunning south shore.

This tour is for a range of adventurers: certified divers, first-time snorkelers, or someone who prefers to enjoy the sights from the boat. With expert guides by your side, top-quality gear provided, and a chance to encounter sea turtles, dolphins, and even WWII-era ships, this south shore experience offers a memorable experience while in Honolulu.

Where does the adventure go?

Departing from Kewalo Basin Harbor in Honolulu, the tour includes two distinct underwater sites:

1. First stop (divers only): A deep wreck such as the Sea Tiger (60–123 ft), YO-257 & San Pedro (65–115 ft), or Corsair (115 ft), based on sea conditions.
   
2. Second stop (divers and snorkelers): A reef site like Fantasy Reef (25–50 ft), Keehi Pipe (25–40 ft), or Ewa Pinnacles (75–90 ft), known for rich marine biodiversity.
   

Note: Dive site selection varies by conditions. Specialty long-range charters are available on Wednesdays and Saturdays, featuring sites like the Ewa Pinnacles, Navy Tug, and the remote Corsair wreck.
