About this site
This dive site features a sunken aircraft wreck resting at 18 meters, attracting schools of barracuda, trevally, and batfish. The structure is encrusted with colorful soft corals and sponges, creating a vibrant artificial reef. Visibility often exceeds 30 meters, with mild currents making it suitable for all levels. The wreck's open fuselage allows easy penetration, while the wings and tail provide shelter for moray eels and lionfish. Warm waters year-round host occasional reef sharks and turtles. The shallow reef nearby offers a gentle slope with hard corals and clownfish.
