Specifications:

The Bristol Blenheim Bomber is a mysterious plane wreck that served the British army during WWII. Its history is unclear but due to its location we do know that this 17 meter wide plane was shot down in its approach to Malta.

It lies in extremely deep waters just below the sport diving limits and so should only be dived by experienced divers. Engine, wings, propellers and pilot sit can still be seen, but many parts are unrecognizable. The front of the cabin was separated from the wreck when it hit the water and now lies just a few meters before the wreck. Some interesting species can be found inside the plane wreck such as sponges, crabs, lobsters and tube worms. Don't expect to see many coral fish as its depth prevents them from covering the wreck. Finding this wreck is difficult and to be sure use a dive boat and only go in calm waters. With GPS you can find its exact location and use the boat anchor to go down. Magic will surround you when you finally see the bomber appearing from the dark blue.
