About Airplane Ledge

This is a very unique dive as you get to dive a wreck and a natural reef at the same time. The wreck is that of a twin engine Beachcraft plane that was intentionally sank to form a artificial reef along with three other wrecks. Hurricane Iwa broke them up and scattered them all over the ocean floor. Two of the three wrecks were never seen again. She sunk in the early 1990's and ever since, has attracted various marine life and coral growth.
