The Corsair is such a popular airplane wreck dive in Hawaii. 10 minutes from our dock, it never fails to amaze and please the divers that make it down to the 107 foot deep dive site! Surrounded by garden eels and schools of colorful fish, and inhabited by large eels, lobsters, and octopus, there is plenty of marine life to satisfy all divers. Even on it’s own, it is simply amazing to see a plane with the tail and propeller still attached, and with a wing lying in the sand next to the fuselage, and the windscreen and instrument panel. It is quite breathtaking!  It’s best done on a 32 blend of nitrox as then you can stay after all the air divers have to ascend and really look around and see all the cool stuff! 2nd jump was a drift of our beloved Fantasy reef with incredible topography, sharks, turtles, octopus, eels, hard corals, and loads of fish!  Thanks to all for safe diving!!  Larry, Joe, Kelsea
