Emily Flying Boat (H8K)
Wreck of a Japanese Kawanishi H8K 'Emily' flying boat in Tanapag Lagoon, part of the Saipan Maritime Heritage Trail and often misnamed the 'B-29'. It lies in roughly 9–10 m (the Heritage Trail literature gives about 29 ft) with four large propellers, most of a wing, a gun turret and instrument parts still recognisable. An easy, relaxed boat dive in the protected lagoon.
