About Junkers Ju-52 (Wreck)
Junkers Ju-52 (Wreck) is a deep wreck dive off the Sicilian coast, where a German transport plane lies on a sandy seabed a short distance from the port. The wreck is a striking artificial reef with eels, groupers, stingrays, sponges, and gorgonians around the airframe, but it demands careful planning because the depth and overhead structure make it a dive for experienced wreck divers. Buoyancy and gas management matter more than speed.
