Let's go Dive the Aeroplane- Moalboal-Philippines
Hell all you hivers,
Now you’ve all probably heard of shipwrecks but we also dive on plane wrecks also. Yup Aeroplanes.
On this occasion as we have all repeat guests and my neighbours rather than set a schedule I just asked where they would like to go.
Two or maybe three of the divers requested the airplane or airport site as some dive centres call it and the others had no objection as they were just keen to be diving again. So Airplane it was. I can’t call it the Airport as there is only one plane there so for me that makes no sense
We could not have had better weather as the sea was flat calm and almost mirrorlike.These days on the water are very special as it's so idyllic like being in a movie. It sure beats the rough sea green face days that's for sure.
After all buddy checks and briefings the 2 small groups entered the water and navigated there way towards where the plane is located. It's not so deep it lies in approximately 24m of water in a small sandy patch.
A few razor fish along the way. I love these little guys, they are pretty cool always in groups in a face down vertical position.
It is never hard to find Nemo around here
More Nemo
And then the plane. I love diving wrecks and it's always cool getting imagery of them underwater.
I wish we had more of them here in Moalboal but as the wall is usually a sheer drop down to 50m plus and then slopes off even deeper there's no easy place to sink one.
So all we have for that type of thing in this area is the little plane.
Some nice table corals on the journey back
I am really hoping we get more of these days in the future. Was an enjoyable day with happy divers.

Believe me? Lol.
(Mad pictures bro! Jealous as fuck!)
can't really complain about a day like today :)
I bet. I could complain about mine though...But I won't. Friday tomorrow...So it's all good.
got some of the gang prepped. Told @diveratt to get on board he should be good for a giggle. See if i can rattle @iamyohann into action too
130 hive on offer this week. Would be good to had a little out to some newer accounts. Topic will be out in about 17 hours or so...Hope to get a few entries.
yup some new blood is required. Talking of new blood @diveratt just posted his bicycle accident and conveniently left out the bit about him trying to outrace one of my instructors who was riding a motorbike while he was on a push bike lol. hmmmmm much crap i will give him
Lol...That deserves a great deal of crap...But I would imagine you don't need much excuse to dish it out right? 😂
nah he blames me as it was my bar he was at just before......errrr really
Lol...Hmm, interesting logic. I'll go have a read tomorrow when I wake up. Could be interesting to see his understanding of the events. 😂
and bear in mind he used to be a health and safety officer heh heh heh
Haha...Gold! Should be entertaining.
hes a good sport
Que genial, me gustaría poder bucear algún día. Gracias por compartir!
¡Darle una oportunidad! puedes amarlo
Is there a sad story with that plane wreck ending up there? Or was it sunk deliberately for diving and enviromental purpose? I hear some place sing objects in the seabed so corals etc can grow.
was sunk on purpose. Wish we had a few more here
