The B-29 Superfortress is an outstanding dive

As you approach the B-29 it looms out of the moon-dust bottom as the tail section appears in the blackness. From there it banks left into the gully like it was taking a downward turn. The chilly bottom is just a brief reminder that these bombers were built at the beginning of the Cold War and were huge death machines.

The B-29 is not a a walk in the park dive, it's a tech dive that requires excellent diving skills and a sense of adventure
