Underwater Japanese planes?

He told me he freedived to it...

Either he is cracked (I think more realistic) or he is confused and was talking about the corsair on the south shore, people have freedove that (107fsw). Only problem with that is that the corsair is an American plan that went down when it ran out of fuel on a training mission, not a Japanese zero.

there is one off of kahe point in 72 ft straight out from the outfall and one north of makaha but remember folks the back half of "zero's" was made out of balsa wood so there would only be the fuselage, wings and engines left, no tail section

There are wings off of Nanakuli Beach in about 72 ft of water. You can do it as a shore dive but it is a hell of a swim.

Are these the wings you are looking for?

The entire fuselage and wings of the A6M Zero fighter were metal, a highly advanced super duralumin. Control surfaces were fabric covered. It was a superb technically advanced aircraft.
