Best for advanced divers, 30-36m, shore entry.
The Dornier DO-24 is a Second World War German flying boat wreck resting upright on the seabed at depths between 30 and 36 metres. Located 50 metres from the shore, the site features an intact fuselage, wings, and engine nacelles. This advanced dive requires a drysuit due to water temperatures ranging from 5 to 12 degrees Celsius. Divers must manage significant entanglement risks within the aircraft structure and contend with variable visibility and strong currents. Redundant lighting and precise buoyancy control are essential. The surrounding marine environment supports various temperate reef fish and invertebrates typical of the region.

Check visibility conditions locally before committing, as poor viz inside a partially enclosed airframe at 30 metres leaves very little margin. A drysuit and redundant lighting are strongly advised given the cold water and entanglement hazards.
