Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Airplane Wreck

Airplane Wreck (and Wet Suit City at the next site) are well worth the drive. You'll travel through some very scenic countryside and eventually land at the Sunset Waters Beach Resort (formerly the Coral Cliff Resort). The beach is for their guests, but you'll be welcome to pass through for the dive. They also have a dive shop at the end of the road by their beach. Drop by to say hi, and to let them know you'll be diving in the area. Northwest of Willemstad, travel 12.3 km West on Weg Naar Westpunt from the Weg Naar Hato intersection to San Pedro. Turn left to head toward Soto. Travel 8.3 km to reach the intersection in Soto shown on below.

I wanted to post a quick update on this location. The resort itself is now closed/condemned and has been stripped of everything of value and there is smashed glass everywhere. Be sure to lock your car if you dive here. The nice part is that you can now park right on the beach. The reef itself is ok, and drops off quickly if you want a short surface swim for a deeper dive. The plane sits in about 25' and is hard to miss swimming out from the entrance of the lagoon. From the plane swim out with the plateau on your left and keep on eye out in the blue on your right for cruising barracuda. The current/chop can also be a little rough on the surface, so definitely plan your dive to finish back into the lagoon.
