SUBMARINE SPOTTED AT YO 257 WRECK! MAY 4

how often do you get to see a !SUBMARINE! when you go diving? NEVER!,  is the answer almost every diver will give, no matter how experienced or traveled, they are.  But here on Oahu, we at Island Divers get to see one at least once a week!  And it is a fantastic experience!!  The wreck of the YO 257 is on the route of the tourist submarine off Waikiki, and while on that dive the sub captain will stop and give the tourist and the divers the chance to wave hello to each other, and maybe shoot a few photos! the wreck itself is also spectacular, rated one of the top wrecks to visit in the world!  schools of bannerfish and barracuda often surround the wreck.  while loads of reef fish – big eyes, hawkfish, butterfly fish, tangs etc are all over the nooks and crannies of the wreck.  not to speak of sharks, rays, and turtles.  just a great dive, with viz up to 150 feet, and the deck only 75 feet deep, and the wheel house even shallower.  definitely a must see if you dive hawaii!  Our first dive was another world beater dive site, the Corsair airplane, sitting in sand and surrounded by garden eels, at 107 feet.  good viz and mild current gave us a great dive, and with two huge morays in the cockpit, not a good day for a photo while sitting in there!  our 3rd dive (every sunday we do a 3 tanker) was a drift of Fish Garden, with captain joe letting us drift in the opposite direction we usually do.  i loved it!  viz was a bit green, but we saw 1000’s of fish and several huge turtles!  thanks to all for good diving!  larry, flora, and captain joe
