Avion Cessna 188

Explore the captivating dive site of a former CESSNA 188, a small plane that once served as a pesticide sprayer in banana plantations. After an unfortunate accident, the plane could no longer be restored, and in 2000, it was decontaminated and submerged at a depth of 23 meters on the fringes of the vibrant coral reefs. Witness the marvelous transformation of this wreck into a thriving underwater habitat teeming with marine life.

The sunken wreckage provides a sanctuary for an array of enchanting creatures, including gorgonocephalus, spotted sandpiper, butterflyfish, and angel fish. Diodons, barracudas, and kingfish also grace this underwater haven, adding to its allure.
