This dive site features the wreck of a Piper Cherokee, a small passenger airplane that crashed and sank to 32 meters in 1996. The wreck lies on its back, allowing divers to identify the engine, wheels, and a portion of the wing. Navigation typically involves exploring the debris field around the main fuselage.
The wreck and surrounding sandy bottom host a variety of marine life. Moray eels and scorpionfish are commonly found within the plane's debris, while roncadores and snappers patrol the area around the wreck. On the sandy expanses, divers may encounter rays and schools of sand eels.
The Piper Airplane wreck offers a unique experience, especially for those interested in wreck diving and macro photography due to the abundant small marine life. Its average depth of 16 meters makes parts of the site accessible, though the maximum depth of 32 meters requires at least Advanced Open Water certification. While not ideal for casual snorkeling, experienced freedivers could explore the shallower parts of the wreck.
