Navy Tug Wreck Dive with Aloha Scuba in Honolulu | Attraction | Water Activities

Aloha Scuba Diving Co. operates out of 1651 Ala Moana Blvd in Honolulu, offering a remarkable two-tank dive that plunges certified divers into the rich aquatic landscapes off the coast of Oahu. This adventure delivers a compelling combination of history, marine biodiversity, and hands-on expert guidance aboard the private vessel "Diamond T2." The dives focus first on the Navy Tug wreck—a preserved relic resting on the seabed, offering a glimpse into maritime heritage and structure that has become an underwater habitat. The second dive transports participants to a thriving reef ecosystem, teeming with colorful coral formations and lively sea creatures.

Oahu’s warm Pacific waters around Honolulu present clear visibility and relatively mild currents, ideal for divers eager to inspect sunken vessels without battling harsh conditions. Small-group sizes ensure personalized attention from dive masters who prioritize safety and environmental stewardship. Beyond the thrill of navigating the tug’s steel frames, divers frequently encounter hawksbill turtles gliding gracefully, curious moray eels peeking from crevices, and sometimes even reef sharks patrolling the reef edges.

Their commitment to small groups and safety cultivates both learning and camaraderie, making the dives accessible and memorable for certified divers aged 15 and older.

Beyond the dives themselves, the cultural aura of Honolulu and the Pacific’s subtle seasonal shifts add layers to this aquatic journey. The Navy Tug Wreck and Reef dive pairs adventure with education, providing a rare opportunity to witness Oahu’s underwater ecosystem while appreciating its naval past. For local divers and visitors alike, Aloha Scuba provides a gateway to one of Hawaii’s lesser-known underwater treasures, right in the heart of Honolulu’s marine landscape.
