About this dive site

This dive site features a World War 2 P47 fighter plane wreck located on a gently sloping seabed extending from Jerief Island, ranging in depth from 25 to 35 meters. This 'Thunderbolt' rests on its back and is covered with both hard and soft corals. Due to the depth and the nature of exploring a submerged aircraft, advanced diving certifications are required. Divers may observe Yellowtail Fusiliers inhabiting the area, often seen hovering near the plane’s wings.
