Diving on a "WWII Plane" (1943) in Naxos, Greece

Uploaded by ampelokipoi on Aug 12, 2009
A great dive - this year I visited the island of Naxos and went on two great dives.
Read some text regarding this wreck I got from http://www.naxosdiving.com/content/view/65/109/lang,en/
The plane was in almost perfect condition, and resting on a flat, sandy area at a depth of 34 metres largely intact. The nose of the aircraft is at 40 degrees; the front section of the nose has broken off and lies apart from the rest of the fuselage. The radar is now missing; as is the propeller of the starboard engine, possibly because it had been hit by German ground to air machine gun fire.

I'm from Greece and today i had my second diving experience with a diving center in Sounio, nearby Athens! I also love WW2 history and collecting ww2 militaria! This kind of videos are the perfect match for me. I hope one day i'll be able to dive in WW2 wrecks. Hopefully i'll take my wreck diving license someday!

Wow, this is really cool!

its a TF Mk – x, the 2 pilots were rescued and hidden by the ppl of naxos, despite the executions from germans. 1 pilot is still alive today, he is old but he never forgets like we do.

Did you get anything from it? Like bullets or something, did the pilot eject?
