The ocean around Guam is full of WW2 wrecks and relics. You need a boat to get to most of them, but we didn't have time for that. We asked at the dive shop on the U.S. navy base and they told us about the wreck of a WW2 Japanese sea plane near some old docks in Apra Harbour. I don't know if it was shot down, if it sunk while floating or if it was sunk after the war as scrap. Judging by it's location near shore and it's fairly intact condition, I'd guess it didn't crash while flying. It lies 90 feet deep on the sand at the bottom of a coral slope near Gab Gab beach. A road runs along the shore so access is easy as long as you have access to the navy base. We parked next to the rusty, jagged-steel remains of some old docks. The plane is supposed to be straight out from the docks. Visibility was about 50' in the shallows and down the coral slope. At the bottom of the slope, the visibility dropped to about 15'. We had some trouble finding the plane at first. We turned the wrong way at the bottom of the slope (West). Eventually we turned around and found it lying upside-down on the sand near the base of the coral slope (90' deep). The fuselage with the cockpit had been turned right-side up (presumably to make it more interesting for divers). most of the engine was missing. There is supposed to be an engine lying by itself farther out on the sand. We swam back up the slope towards the base of the docks and had a look for for another plane wreck that's supposed to lie 40 feet deep near the old docks. This one is said to be the wing and pontoon of a zero. We didn't find it (we probably didn't swim far enough East). I didn't take any photos on this dive since I was using my camera for video. I also didn't have a video light so the video is pretty monochromatic.
