Thanks Justin. I have more wrecks to research in the Duma area, including ANOTHER Japanese plane wreck somewhere in the Tanon Straight, a ship called the Panay, and more!
Hey thanks for watching. Yes, the fisherman said they dragged anchors and rope over the top of the wreck many times, essentially breaking it apart :( When they snagged the machine gun they said it took them 3 days to haul it up onto the shore!
Great video! Living in the Philippines and the Western Pacific is amazing if you enjoy WWII history. One of the more interesting places I have visited was the bomb loading pit at North Field on the island of Tinian in the Marianas, where "Little Boy" was loaded onto the B-29 Superfortress, Enola Gay. It was eerie to climb down and stand in the very place that once contained the bomb. So much history, so little time to see it all. While I'm on Guam, I usually see relics almost daily and love exploring the reefs below, the beach invasion sights, and the pill boxes and bunkers strewn all over the island. I have yet to visit the old Naval Supply Depot on the island of Samar (Guiuan) where we live.
Awesome video Kevin! If you go back, you need to check out that wing you found. No doubt that is part of the wreckage, probably more buried under the sand. So cool that you were able to get the dive qualifications to make this happen!
Hi, thanks for watching. Yes, right off the end of the runway at approximately 45 meters deep. Sadly not much remains of the aircraft, and what does is covered by sand and at the mercy of local fishermen salvaging. Still worth the dive and very fascinating to me!
