The Hell Cat F6F was an American plane. In 1956, during a training exercise, a young Navy pilot practicing low-altitude flight made a wrong move and the plane touched the water. The pilot ejected himself from the cockpit but the Hell Cat sank down to 55m/180ft. Today the wreck lies untouched on the sea bed. Divers can explore the cockpit and its glass shield, the wings mounted with machine-guns along with the fuselage that's still there, in perfect condition. The engine is still there as well. Unfortunately, the propeller disappeared upon the crash, but a similar one is on display at the local museum. Hell Cat is a great dive, but is recommended for CMAS *** / DiveMaster only.
