San Pedro Hawaii located off of the coast of
Waikiki in 80 feet of water off the island of Oahu is a must Hawaii
scuba dive.
The San Pedro, probably one of Oahu's easiest shipwreck in terms
of depths YET still remains one of the trickiest Hawaii shipwrecks
to penetrate. This shipwreck of Oahu was put down in 1994 by the
Atlantis Submarine Company for aesthetic reason and to provide a
better scene fro taking customers on their submarine. The San Pedro had its origins as a Korean fishing boat working in
the south Pacific until making its home in Hawaii. Some how Atlantis
got a hold of the boat from a debunked business and the rest is
scuba history.
The San Pedro sits in 85 feet of water with the main decks at 65
and 70 feet. The upper decks have caved in due to recent storms in
the past years however the main hull is still intake supporting a
large amount of marine life. Sharks, rays, eels and plenty of
Hawaiian green sea turtles to thrive.
Penetrating the San Pedro shipwreck is easy however caution should be used due
to the fact the upper wheel house has collapsed. Enter carefully and
do watch your hands, feet and head. Do not have any lose equipment
that could easily get tangled on this wreck- bent pieces of metal
and steel are all to common thus increasing your chances of a
problem.
Bottom times are really good here. 30 minutes us very common.
Keep your eyes on those gauges, this fun little wreck can keep your
attention. Use around 700PSI for the limit on this dive because you
still want to do a safety stop at 15 feet for 3 minutes. San Pedro shipwreck of Oahu located in Hawaii is a great
