Site details

Intact F4U Corsair aircraft on sand off southeast Oahu, normally reached by boat as a deep advanced dive. The aircraft is upright with cockpit and propeller features visible; the surrounding sand hosts garden eels and macro life. It is exterior-only and should be planned as a short, current-aware deep dive.
