Did a shore dive from Kakaako and found a tire reef. Must of been there awhile since there is coral growth. There was other stuff and debris, I am sure it is some kind of scientific research.

I have seen this spot before. I was going to explore it more, but I was two tired. Get it? ......nevermind.
 
Looking at Blades pics above, from the large flat metal deck that for some reason is strapped to the ocean floor for safety. Head Ewa approx 100yds, you will go over a lot of low lying reef and then it appears out of no where. If you make it to the taller coral shelf's you went to far, there are actually about 50tires strapped together and attached to the ocean floor. The entire area looks like science experiment gone bad but at least these tires seam to have coral growth.
