WWII plane wrecksHistorical significance
Scuba
Cenderawasih Bay was a significant area during WWII, and several well-preserved aircraft wrecks can be found on the seabed. These include P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt fighter planes, offering a fascinating glimpse into history.
Features
Several WWII aircraft wrecks, primarily American fighters, lie in relatively shallow, clear water. The wrecks are largely intact and have become artificial reefs, attracting coral growth and fish life, but the main draw is their historical significance.
