What a nice list of Oahu dives, did most of them on my 3 visits to the island. Sea Tiger and YO were among my favorites. Did you make it to the engine room of the Sea Tiger?

I particularly like he Ewa Pinnacles. It’s a very unique dive.

You hit five of my favorite 10 Oahu dives during your visit. Island Divers Hawaii/Honolulu Scuba Company definitely give you the most dive site options of any of the dive operators that I've come across on the island. They've got enough boats going out every day, there's always a good chance you can hit the sites you want if they water is right.

Didn't make it to the engine room of the Sea Tiger.
Was on 32% NITROX (IDH/HSC includes NITROX when you book multiple days) and that would be at or below my Max Operating Depth.
Also, didn't have a dive buddy with a Wreck Cert and willing to go. Not sure I had ever actually went inside the Sea Tiger engine room, but vaguely remember spying it from the portal. On previous trips I did go deep into the bigger cargo hold from the corner of the grate.

And on other past trips, toured the engine room of the YO-257, with all the gauges still legible and intact =)

Found 7 dives on the Sea Tiger in my log. Two that specifically mentioned the engine room were to 104 and 107 feet.
