This site is listed by NOAA as a plane but appears to be natural formation. Two historically significant planes are within one mile of this site.

Having been a member of the group (Recovery Services Ltd) that pulled the remains of a SB2C Helldiver, F4F Wildcat, and one of the guns from the turret of the PBM back in the 80's I am amazed at the technical expertise used now by the current divers visiting these wrecks.
Our side scan was primitive as were the camera's used compared to the quality of the images you have here. Just a couple of twin 80's full of air and some lift bags were the norm for diving back then. There was no such thing as Technical diving then and no access to what were considered commercial breathing mixtures.
Nice videos on your site, and the ongoing documentation is great.
Cheers.
