The Blenheim Bomber was a WWII aircraft that served in the English air forces. It sank in 1941 after being attacked by German aircraft. When it crashed into the sea it landed on its belly, and the fore section of the fuselage was smashed off and separated from the plane. The remaining parts of the plane are still well preserved for such an old wreck. Divers can see both wings, two engines, propellers and the pilot's seat. As it happens with most wrecks of this age, the fuselage is now overgrown with soft corals and brightly colored sponges. This dive site is more suited to experienced divers due to the depth of the wreck.
