The Honolulu wreck dive from Aloha Scuba Diving Co. is a 4-hour two-tank charter from Ala Wai Harbor for about $205: the Sea Tiger wreck at 74-123 feet then a shallow reef, with tanks, weights and a divemaster included. It suits Advanced divers who want Oahu's best-known wreck near Waikiki; the drawback is the depth and extra gear cost.
Highlights
First dive on the Sea Tiger wreck, listed at 74-123 feet, then a shallow reef for longer bottom time (Greetwell).
$205.33 per certified diver and $445.08 for the Sea Tiger penetration option, which needs a PADI Wreck Diver specialty or equivalent; ride-alongs $113.56 (October 2026).
Advanced Open Water certification required and checked at the boat.
Tanks, weights and divemaster included; departures from Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor, Slip 68, with 8:30 AM and 1:30 PM check-ins.
Greetwell's summary of the operator's Google reviews reports turtles, eels, eagle rays, octopus and sharks at the Sea Tiger.
What to Expect
Check in at Slip 68, Ala Wai Small Boat Harbor, at 8:30 AM or 1:30 PM with your Advanced Open Water card (and Wreck Diver card if you booked penetration).
Attend the mandatory safety briefing aboard the Diamond T2 and assemble your gear.
Dive the Sea Tiger, a wreck resting between 74 and 123 feet off Honolulu, as a guided deep dive on the outside of the hull, or inside if you paid for penetration.
Take a surface interval on the boat, then dive a shallow reef site for a longer second dive.
Return to the harbor about 4 hours after check-in.

What Reviewers Complain About
Boat positioning after a dive(1 report (Greetwell review summary) · operator issue · most recent: 2026 (undated in summary))
One recent reviewer in the summary had problems with where the boat was positioned when surfacing; on a deep wreck dive with current this matters more than on a shallow reef.
About the Operator in General
Aloha Scuba Diving Co. shows 4.7 from 271 Google reviews on Greetwell, whose summary praises named guides and the captain, motion-sickness help and optional GoPro photos, and flags two recent concerns: a diver who felt ignored during briefings and questioned a crew member's wildlife handling, and one who found three trips to the same site repetitive and had boat-positioning problems after a dive.
Our Verdict
Tripreviewall's Take
For about $205 this charter gives Advanced divers Oahu's best-known wreck plus a reef from a harbor beside Waikiki, the same price as the operator's reef-only trip, so it is the better value for anyone qualified to dive to 100 feet. The $445 penetration rate is only for Wreck Diver specialty holders and more than doubles the cost. Open Water divers without the Advanced card cannot book it and should take the Reef Explorer instead.
Book This Tour If…
You hold Advanced Open Water and are comfortable at 100 feet or more
You want a wreck and a reef in one morning or afternoon close to Waikiki
You have your own computer and gear, or have priced the rental
You hold a Wreck Diver specialty and want to pay $445 for penetration
Skip This Tour If…
You hold only Open Water; the operator's Reef Explorer charter is the alternative
You are flying within 24 hours; the first dive is deep
You want named shallow reefs rather than a deep wreck
You cannot commit 48 hours ahead
Tips From Reviewers and Operator Notes
Bring your Advanced card; it is checked at the boat and the listing says no card, no dive
Dive the morning charter if you can; the operator's Google summary mentions motion-sickness support, which suggests afternoons can be rougher
Confirm the surface interval and reef site when you check in
Ask about the boat's surfacing procedure at the Sea Tiger given the complaint in the review summary
Do not book penetration unless you hold a wreck specialty; the operator requires it
