Nope, this is the same one I posted on the WWII Aircraft group over there. Cheers! Dan

Thanks for all the compliments everyone! Glad you guys like the sets of pics I've posted. syscom3- '13 SBD's' is a site where you can see 13 SBD's in one dive. It was given that name some years back, by Roi divers. There's another one on its nose like the one above, and more SBD wrecks...

great series of shots you've posted...really fantastic stuff in all those threads! Keep 'em coming! 8) Dan

Here's the last set of shots from last month's trip. By the way, Classic Wings magazine in New Zealand will be publishing some of my 'Wildcat' shots from that trip, and maybe a few of the 'Helldiver' photos I took. Not sure when they'll be published, but keep your eye on...

Yup...more vacation shots! This is another of the PBJ-1H 'Mitchell' wrecks out there. This is the third one I've photographed over the past two years. This is a shot of the radome remains on the right wingtip- More in the next post... Dan

Here's more vacation shots. This Helldiver has been ID'd as either a straight -3 or -4 by Joe Lyons over on Hyperscale a couple weeks ago. I didn't get enough of the right pics to narrow it all the way down. :( More in the next post... Dan

Hi again all! Last month, I took a mini-vacation and flew up to Roi for 10 days, to do nothing but dive in the aircraft graveyard. I shot about 200 pictures of plane wrecks, and I've selected a few to share with you all here. First up- here's an SBD fuselage from the '13 SBD's' dive...

Hi again everyone, Just a quick update- as of early June, a couple of my dive partners and I located the cowling attached to the partially upright fuselage in hold 2. We had to dig away the built-up silt and mud to expose part of it. We didn't dig it all the way out, just enough to expose...

Hi Joe, I tapped the middle of the prop, then up towards the top, but not all the way. Definitely a metal ring to it, no matter where I was tapping. Gnomey- thanks for the compliment, glad you like the pics. That prop raises an interesting question, and I've yet to start looking at...

Hi again everyone, I was able to do two more dives on the Akibasan Marushipwreck. As I mentioned previously, I still needed to explore cargo holds 3 and 4, and finish exploring cargo hold 1. Yesterday afternoon, one of my dive partners, John Hadley, and I went out and did the two dives...

Thanks guys, glad you like the pics. I'll have images up of the other PBM, as soon as I can get to where it's at to dive the wreck. Cheers! :) Dan

Here's the next set... Hope you like the pics. Cheers all! :) Dan

Hi everyone, With all the emails coming in from all over, regarding the 'Glen' wrecks, I almost forgot to share this series of pictures as well! Silly me...:rolleyes: Anyway, here's pictures I took on another recent dive I did. This is a PBM-3R 'Mariner' that lies about 3 miles west of...

Glad you like the pics and the discussion. Since I posted last here, I've been able to confirm that these two 'Glen' wrecks in cargo hold 2, are the ONLY ones known to exist anywhere. I haven't had a chance to get into holds 3 and 4 yet, nor finish exploring hold 1. I'll probably get that...

Hi all, Just wanted to share my latest project I've been working on out here at Kwajalein Atoll. I've been doing several dives on one of the WWII Japanese shipwrecks out here that has aircraft parts in at least three of the cargo holds. The ship has six cargo holds- at this point...
