B24 Bomber Wreck
Bangkai Pesawat B24
The wreck of a U.S. B-24 Liberator bomber that ditched in the sea in 1945 and rests in 16–24 meters of sand, the archipelago’s signature wreck dive.
On May 3, 1945, a U.S. B-24 “Liberator” bomber taking off from Morotai was forced to ditch in the sea near Togean Island after an engine caught fire. The fuselage still sits largely intact on the sandy bottom at depths of 16–24 meters, with its wings, engines, and gun turrets clearly visible. It is now covered in sponges and soft corals, with groupers and scorpionfish living around it. It is suitable for divers with an Advanced Open Water certification, and dive trips depart from Kadidiri or Togean Island, with a boat journey of about 30–45 minutes.
