Scuba Diving Aruba Plane Wrecks Diving Aruba. This was a great experience.
The planes purposely sunk in 70 to 90 feet of water. The fist plane is the Convair 400, put down in the 1990s, was largely intact until Hurricane Lenny uprooted it.
The second airplane is a Japanese manufactured NAMC YS-11 turboprop passenger airliner belonging to Air Aruba which had outlived its service and was donated to the Aruba Water Sports Association who in 2004 sunk the 60ft long passenger airplane weighing close to 13 tons and it came to a rest at 45 feet with its tail section resting at 75 feet making the airplane appear poised for take-off. The cockpit is still intact, though the nose cone has fallen off, and it is possible to dive through the fuselage of the airplane. The YS-11 is presents an eerie sight as its resting on its landing gear with its nose pointing towards the island inclined upwards almost as if it wants to lift-off from the Sonesta reef.
