Wreck of Truck in Lapangan Pante

Though it is well-known for its historical heritage, Morotai currently have limited locations of wreck diving. One of them is Lapangan Pante, situated just close to Lapangan Pitu Airport, near Wama (from history, apparently, American’s Troops named this location = Guama). Lapangan Pante had trucks and willy’s jeep underwater until 2012 when it is already gone (some tought that it was scavenged by iron-seeker and smelted in for re-use purpose). Yet, there are two aircraft’s wrecks (Bristol Bueford) lying on the sea bed at 40-47 m depths.
