Shallow plane-crash site on a sandy slope
Shallow plane-crash site on a sandy slope
Yankee Juillet is a shore-access plane-crash site with scattered wreck fragments on a sandy reef slope. The dive is more about hunting for bits of debris, sea pens, and the occasional ray than about a full wreck structure or rich coral scene. It suits easy shore diving and quick exploration, but the low coral cover and limited marine life make it a low-yield site rather than a destination dive.
