Corsair:

This is our Hawaii Gem when it comes to wrecks. Max depth is 107 feet. On a training exercise from Pearl Harbor in 1948, the pilot noticed the needle in the planes fuel gauge was falling.  He continued the flight, thinking the gauge was defective, which they usually where back then.   Soon after, however the engine began sputtering and down he went.  He executed a perfect water landing.  The pilot survived and the plane is in perfect condition. When you’re down there take a look at the planes propeller and you can see how it was bent during the impact.  This is hands down Capt. Chris’s favorite wreck! He says he has seen everything they’re from monk Seals, large sharks and humpback whales scratching themselves on the mooring ball. Capt Eric was there for this experience as well.
