Scuba Diver Discovers Korean War-era Airplane Off Mission Bay, San Diego | California Diver Magazine

Looks like there's a new wreck dive in the future. Amazing that this was found in Mission Bay, and at a diveable depth. . . .

Minor clarification, but not "in Mission Bay." Rather, off Mission Beach, in the ocean.

When I saw this on the news, I wondered whether divers might have known about it but just kept it quiet.
 
Great story, although the majority of wreck divers I know don't reveal the location of their finds to keep others from looting the site before they do. Very few are interested in preserving the site unless it's on their fireplace mantle. Some wrecks are dived for many years with only Mother Nature causing destruction, but then there are sites such as the Hogan where divers have picked it clean. There is always a dilemma to finding wrecks.
