This dive site features the iconic 727 jumbo jet used in the Warner Brother’s movie US Marshals, offering a truly unique wreck diving experience. The wreck rests on the bottom of a quarry, allowing for easy navigation around its exterior. Certified divers can explore its interior through penetration dives, providing an exciting overhead environment challenge. The history of this specific aircraft, transforming from a movie prop to an artificial reef, adds a special allure to the dive.
While exploring this remarkable wreck, divers can encounter various freshwater species. Common sightings include bass, bluegill, and catfish, which have made the plane their home. Occasionally, the distinctive spoonbill may also be observed, adding to the site's biodiversity.
The best time to visit this dive site is typically during the warmer months, though year-round diving is often possible with appropriate exposure protection. Its relatively shallow depth makes it suitable for extended bottom times. Freedivers will find the 13-meter maximum depth ideal for training and exploring the wreck, while scuba divers can enjoy the thrill of penetration if certified. It's a great location for divers of all levels seeking a unique freshwater adventure.
