This dive site consists of a plane which lies a little ahead of Bloody Bay Reef. The wreck lies on a sandy bottom, 27m/88ft deep. This small single-engine Cessna was sunk in order to form an artificial reef. Everything that was inside the plane was removed so that the divers could enter and explore the wreck. The propeller is separated from the plane and lies on top of a coral head behind the reef. The site is full of marine life, including corals, algae, gorgonians, sea fans, sea plumes, turtles, barracudas, nurse sharks, Creole wrasses, bar jacks, French grunts, trumpetfish, and morays. Diving is recommended for advanced divers.
