P-47 Thunderbolt "Dive"

[ScubaAndDreams]

Dove the P-47 today. For more details and pictures and video ... see Hawaii Underwater Explorers

We utilized a highly sophisticated MK I search sonar (that we were able to borrow from Hopkins University) to locate it as seen below:




Thanks to Oahu Dive Center for the aerial picture of the likely location. Thanks to Kevin and Chris for pictures and video. If you do dive this site PLEASE TREAT IT WITH RESPECT...

Mahalo,

Wonderful. I didn't know that the camera's worked above water. At least it shows my better side.

It is a hard site to find. I have been out there multiply times and only found it twice. Looks like you went on a awesome day. It is usually too much surf, surge, and poor vis.

 

[justleesa]

very cool! It looks like the vis wasn't that bad at all.

Wish the clip would play for me

 

[ScubaAndDreams]

I'll rent it to you, just remember it takes 6 Heinekens to power it.
