Emily
Also known as: B-29 · Floating Emily · H8K Emily · Kawanishi H8K Emily
The H8K was the large maritime patrol flying boat of the Imperial Japanese Navy, and this one lies upside down and broken up over a wide area of white sand. The wings are still largely intact, and all four engines and propellers, the gun turret and the pilot's seat with controls lie around the main wreckage. The site name B-29 stuck although research showed the aircraft is Japanese. Bigeyes, damselfish and wrasses live on the wreck, and eagle rays or mantas turn up now and then. Japanese and Korean monuments stand at the site, and its shallow depth close to the harbour makes it a relaxed dive for newer divers.
