| This
168-foot vessel was sunk in 1999 as an artificial reef. Marine life
and growth is still in the early stages. This wreck offers penetration
through its cargo holds, passageways and stairwells surrounding
the outer portion of the ship. Exploration of the inner cabins and
passageways is restricted by means of welded barriers. The Sea Tiger
is visited daily by Atlantis Submarines. For added safety, it is
highly recommended that divers stay clear of the submarine and pay
particular attention when transiting between the surface and the
wreck. Although this wreck is relatively new, it has already attracted
numerous species of fish including, squirrelfish and filefish, along
with visits from morays and occasional reef sharks. |

This is a fun
wreck to visit either in daylight or at night! I have
dove the Sea Tiger about 7 times and usually find a new thrill on
this dive. I
found a medium sized (2 feet in length) octopus clinging to a deck
rail, and
have seen quite a few large yellow margin morays patrolling the deck.
There is
often a sizable moray in the sand near the bow portside hidding in
a little
patch of junk and coral...but at 124 feet down its best just to take
a quick
peek. Two eagle rays scooted by on one occassion and I snapped a few
pics..bring your camera if you have one...the vis is good. On the
night dive
we saw 3 sleeping sea turtles in the main hold (through the hatch
openings on
the deck), and a dancing squid. The night dive would be best considered
an
advanced dive. Enjoy! |

| Nice dive. large cutouts to
do short swim throughs. It's home to a decent size sea turtle who
happened to be home when we visited. She politely posed for our photos.

| This was an
excellent dive for a new diver. Just follow the mooring line right
down to the deck. The deck is about 90 ft. lots of schools of reef
fish, look near the door to the wheelhouse for a moray eel. Swim through
the forward cargo holds for a look. May spot a few schools of eagle
rays hanging around. (dived on July 12,2004) |

This was my first night dive;
nice site. But at 100-130 ft depth; it should be an advanced dive.
Lots of marine life and great diving. (dived on
