Boat-only access and the deep profile make a local charter the practical way to visit.
B-29 Aircraft Wreck is a boat-only WWII bomber dive off Aguadilla with a stripped airframe resting on sand and a few scattered wreck sections. It suits certified divers who want a deep, history-rich dive with limited structure and a local charter team. Expect open-water exposure, steady buoyancy, nitrox-friendly planning, and a wreck-first profile rather than reef scenery.

Depth range, seasonality, and planning context.
Reported Depth
35m - 38m
Depth Note
Published depth guidance clusters in the mid-30s meters and varies slightly; treat it as a deep advanced wreck and confirm the charter's planned profile.
Best Season
Year-round; calmer weather windows and the winter-to-spring visibility window are the easiest bets.
Typical Conditions
Deep open-water wreck on sand, usually dived by boat with nitrox and careful gas planning. Best approached as a history dive rather than a penetration site.
Hazards, restrictions, and access requirements.
Key Hazards
Safety Notes
Nitrox is recommended to extend bottom time at this depth.
Access Restrictions
Boat access only; not a shore-entry site.
Legal Notes
Follow local boating and diving rules, and leave the wreck in place.
Community notes to help plan your visit.
Scuba Diving
Best as a guided advanced wreck dive with nitrox, steady buoyancy, and conservative turn pressure. The site rewards divers who are comfortable in open-water depth rather than reef sightseeing.
Freediving
Not a practical freedive target; the wreck sits well beyond normal breath-hold depth.
Snorkeling
Not suitable for snorkeling because the wreck is offshore and too deep to view from the surface.
