Seaplane
JAKE Seaplane is a WWII Japanese Navy floatplane wreck that is relatively shallow. It is an incredible dive site that should not be overlooked. The location is well-known, and photographs of the plane resting on the seafloor can be found on the internet and in many dive magazines. This low-flying reconnaissance seaplane is almost totally intact and was discovered from the surface, by a Palauan fisherman in 1994. It's one of Palau's few JAKEs, and it's a spectacular sight.
JAKE Seaplane is resting on a large coral platform about 15 meters below the surface. Stag horn, lettuce, table and brain corals, as well as a variety of soft corals, surround it. Many artifacts, such as radios, ammunition, and a small bomb inside the cockpit to the right of the aft seat, still exist inside and around this seaplane. Please do not take any artifacts. Live ammunition can be found on this dive site, as well as all ship and plane wrecks in Palau waters. However, due to the age of the bullets, bombs, mortars, and other historical artifacts, they are very unstable and can explode, so you should be careful with them.
Location: Palau, Federated States of Micronesia
