Fantasy Reef
This shallow reef dive in East Oahu is sometimes done as a drift dive. Raised reef fragments and lava tubes allow you to glide through overhangs and swim-throughs at around 40 ft deep. You'll likely see Moray eels and some big green sea turtles. Usually paired with the Baby Barge.
Koko Craters
This is an easy dive at 35-40 ft on the East Side of Oahu. Two large sandy craters offer fun exploration and you're sure to see Hawaiian green sea turtles (honu) and other marine life here, including puffer fish and eels. A nice complement to the Corsair wreck dive.
Tire Reef
This dive site follows a drift that spans a large portion of Maunalua Bay on the east side.It gets it name from the 12 cement blocks that have tires imbedded in them. Today, they act more as an artificial reef than their original purpose of disposal many years ago, and there's great marine life and fun ledges to explore around this site. There’s a good chance you might see a Galapagos shark coming through here, too. Usually paired with the LST wreck and Sea Cave.
100 Ft. Hole and Kingman's Reef
This area is said to have been an ancient Hawaiian fishing ground that was accessible only to the Ali'i (chiefs). Although this hole is only 70-90 ft deep, fishermen always said it was about 100 ft - thus its name. The bottom of the hole is about 85 ft and is accessed by a single swim-through. The second dive of the day will usually be Kingman’s Reef, a shallow dive through finger reefs at 30 ft. Here you’ll see a wonderful array of Hawaiian marine life, including nudibranchs and octopus.
