Correct! Well done

I was at a client yesterday who told me about Miracle Waters, a diving school near Brits. That plane is around 30 meters below the surface, and there is also a bus, a car and a Puma helicopter that can be visited. All these objects were placed there intentionally, to be used in scuba training.

Miracle Waters is a dive getaway in clean spring water, with a view of the beautiful Magaliesberg mountain range - less than an hour's drive from both Johannesburg and Pretoria.

Our large clear diving lake is an old open cast chrome mine surrounded by natural bush and farmlands. The water is so clean because it is naturally replenished by an underwater spring.

The depth of our lake is 33m and the viz, which can reach 10m, is good. All divers can relax, as there are no major hazards or extreme depths. Numerous Black Bass and various species of Kurper are found in the shallows, while a bus, aeroplane, Puma hellicopter, several yachts, swimming pool, and various other items (even a computer station!) have also been introduced. Both the bus and aeroplane can safely be entered by appropriately trained divers.

So - whats my prize? A new Naartji for Ratex's aerial perhaps??

[BUGGOFF]

Was actually there today, but the viz was only like 1meter due to new grass they planted in there.

Very interesting pine. You find the other plane yet?

With a bit of embellishment, this has the makings of a movie.

Found this pic of the remains of Catalina E, which was taken a few years ago when the St Lucia lake was almost completely dry. The exact location of the wreck of Catalina H is not known, it crashed into much deeper water.
