Roberto Clemente crash site in PR

[silvernotch]

This is purely out of curiosity but I've been a huge baseball and Clemente fan since I was a kid. I was wondering if the site that his plane crashed was diveable and if anyone has ever dove it for recovery purposes since the 70's? It looks like it went down about a mile off shore from San Juan airport. It looks like Navy divers went down right after the crash but it doesn't look like anyone's done anything since.

Once again this is purely out of curiosity and I wouldn't personally ever want to dive it out of respect for those that lost their lives.

My dad knew him. They were friends. Even had a little league field named after him in S. Cal where I grew up. diving is terrible north of SJ. Winds, constant rough seas.. Not sure anyone could find anything

everything I have found references the recovery effort the two weeks after the accident but nothing else.
