What Divers Say

Known for: Tropical reef fish sheltering in and around the fuselage, Corals colonizing the airframe
Best time: Year-round warm-water site; calm, clear days give the best visibility. Low tide brings the fuselage to just below the surface, which makes viewing easiest for children and less confident swimmers.

Site details

Curtiss C-46A-45-CU Commando is a dive site located in Bahamas. It is accessible from shore.

wreck

Very shallow site — the fuselage sits just below the surface at low tide, so swimmers can easily contact the aging airframe, and swimming through the cabin requires care; currents over the sandbank are typically manageable but this is open water; the wreck is frequented by tour and private boats directly overhead.
