Corsica wreck dive with two P-47s on sand off Anghione.
Corsica wreck dive with two P-47s on sand off Anghione.
Combat aerien is an offshore Corsica wreck dive at Anghione, where two P-47 Thunderbolts rest on a sandy bottom. The site is reached by boat and anchored on the wrecks, so it reads as a calm wreck day rather than a long search dive. The appeal is the mix of intact structure, fragmented metal, and easy marine life around a historic relic.
