Villagers at Boga Boga village on the northern tip of the cape vogal told Rodney the incredible story of Blackjack was ditched early one morning during world war two right in front of their village and how they rescued all the crew members of the aircraft.  There is a shallow reef in front of Boga Boga and then a steep wall to deep water. Rodney dived down the wall to find the aircraft in virtually perfect condition sitting intact and upright on a sandy patch at 48 meters. The dive is not an easy one since, as well as being deep and exposed, there is often current, however the water is usually clear. Calm weather is necessary dive this site.
