About DC3 Undercarriage (Wreck)
DC3 Undercarriage (Wreck) is a compact aircraft-relic dive where the surviving landing-gear section of a DC3 sits as an artificial-structure attraction on the Gold Coast offshore grounds. Divers come for the novelty of the wreck fragment and the fish life that gathers around hard structure, treating it more as a quick reef-and-relic dive than a tour of a large intact wreck.
