On the 17 march 1943 the Beaufighter left Malta on a mission. As soon he left the airport mechanical problems accrued, the aircraft start it vibrating rapidly and quickly began loses altitude. The crew didn`t have any more options but to ditch the plan in the sea. Both crew escapes uninjured. The aircraft lies upside down on a sandy bottom with the wings and centre fuselage still intact most of it buried in the sand. Both undercarriage frames and shredded tyres stick up from their wing position behind the engines. One of the propellers still intact to the engine partly buried. This dive has to be done by boat. Good dive to do on Nitrox 28%
