Historic Menorca aircraft wreck for expert divers.
The dive center handles certification checks, gas checks, paperwork, and safe timing.
The Junkers Ju 88 wreck is a World War II aircraft resting on sand off Menorca's south coast. It is a deep, expert-level wreck dive reached by a short boat ride, with a clean sandy bottom, a preserved airframe, and strict certification and equipment requirements that reward careful planning, calm sea windows, and controlled buoyancy. The appeal is the historical aircraft rather than rich reef cover or easy depth.
