Naxos Diving.com - Beaufighter TF Mk - X. Wreck

Diving in Greece with Naxos Diving team. The first information we received was from elderly, local inhabitants of Naxos who had first hand knowledge that two WWII aircraft had been shot down and ditched in the sea off the island of Naxos. We had been told that during a WWII battle over Naxos harbour in 1943 two aircraft had been shot down. One of these supposedly ditched in the area of Cape Kouroupas, which is on the west coast of Naxos, and the other one off the south coast of Naxos. An old sponge diver told us that he knew there was an aircraft on the sea bed at Cape Kouroupas, thus supporting other anecdotal information given to us. We decided to see if the stories were true and began our search for the aircraft spoken of by the locals. On 21st of February 2006, we began by searching the south eastern part of the cape at depths...Check our web site for more documentation. http://www.naxosdiving.comThis... video is also uploaded from Naxos Diving webmaster.
