Snorkeling and Scuba Diving at Xihwu (Key-Quot)
"By virtue of her being only 37 feet high, the artificial reef will be able to offer divers the opportunity to do penetration dives shallower than 70 feet. This makes for an ideal diving training environment. With the main deck at over 80 feet in most cases and the bulk of the artificial reef below that. Such depths are sometimes intimidating for divers, and shorten the time a diver is able to spend underwater. The 737 airframe, with its wide-open inside space, numerous existing windows, and extra access holes cut for divers, offers a well lit, expansive reef to explore at an advantageous depth. It is an excellent and safe place to learn wreck basic diving skills." Source: pacificwebsites.com
