SUNKEN AIRCRAFT RECOVERies

This photo gallery highlights aircraft and plane recovery projects completed by Cross Marine Projects in lakes, reservoirs, and other inland waterways. These recoveries involve specialized underwater operations to safely locate, stabilize, rig, and remove submerged aircraft while minimizing environmental impact and preserving evidence when required. Each project presents unique challenges, including depth, visibility, fuel containment, and coordination with regulatory agencies. Our commercial dive teams use professional lifting methods, underwater rigging, and inspection techniques to recover aircraft efficiently and responsibly. This gallery provides real-world examples of underwater aircraft recovery work performed in complex and demanding conditions.
