Corsair


Depth 107 ft./35 m.  Wreck dive.  The Corsair is the only non-artificial wreck in Oahu.  In 1946, the pilot of this airplane ditched it as it was running out of fuel off Hawaii Kai.  Although he managed to escape and survive, the plane remains intact at the bottom of the ocean at 105 feet.  This is one of a few sites that hundreds of endemic garden eels can be seen, where they are always surrounding the wreck and playing hide-and-seek with the divers.  Large stingrays often visit the area as well.  This site has one of the best visibilities of the island, an average day being 100 feet.   However, visibility reaches close to 180 feet/ 60m. at best!  Intermediate to advanced dive.
