About Seaplane Wreck

To the north of the Mahi, practically off Pokai Bay, sits the twin-engine beechcraft called Seaplane Wreck by the locals. It was sunk for use as an artificial reef and it's fuselage lies within a U shaped ridge at roughly 90 feet. The wreck is missing it's engines, rear stabilizers and propellers. It's a great wreck for taking photos. The top section of the ridge is at about 80 feet and drops to debris strewn bottom, which slopes to about 110 feet. In this ledge one can view tropical fish, moray eels and crustaceans that live in the small fractures.
