WWII Landing Craft - Oahu HI


Loading...
WWII Landing Craft is a boat accessible salt water dive site, located in Oahu, HI. This dive site has an average rating of 3.67 out of 5 from 3 scuba divers. The maximum depth is 91-100ft/28-30m. The average visibility is 31-35ft/9-11m.



Provided by the U.S. Navy and intentionally sunk in 1998 as part of Hawaii’s ongoing artificial reef program, the 100ft long shallow Landing Craft Utility (LCU) rapidly became a favorite dive site for many divers. Clear warm water and an abundance of marine life are the hallmarks of this dive site. The LCU is surrounded by thousands of “Z-Blocks” leading to a natural reef nearer the shore. These 4 by 8 foot and six inch thick concrete blocks in the shape of the letter Z have concrete feet on opposite ends to create cavities beneath. These cavities are a favorite hang out for juvenile reef fish. Occasionally, small white tipped reef sharks hide in the larger cavities. There is a swim through on the top deck of the LCU where you will often find Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles sleeping.
