Anyone have any 'confirmed' GPS co-ordinates for this thing?

Went looking for it with two sets of co-ords pulled from the web, couldn't
find it at either site (approx 60 meters apart), emptied a couple of tanks
in the worst vis J Bay has ever offered me, but didn't find the plane...

On a side note we did about 10 dives up there over the last week or so,
plenty of wobbys and rays, as well as the usual Jervis Bay life, but no
plane :(

did you try 35 00.888S 150 44.316E which is what I have written in my log
book.

Maybe someone stole it

I should add that it is a bugger to find if you are a bit out because it
sits flat on the bottom, isn't very tall and the vis in the middle there the
2 times I have dived it wasn't very good

Yeah, aimed at exactly that spot, but no luck. Oh well, gives me a reason to
try again some other time...

You're right about the vis, it was awful, not the best of days and the only
dive I've done that far north in the bay. We could have been 15 feet from
the thing and wouldn't have known!

Thing is it isn't really that interesting a dive. I dove it soon after it
was discovered and while it was OK I wasn't going to do it again it is only
a plane sitting on the sand. Ended up doing it again 6 or 7 years ago (
which is where the supposed GPS co ords came from ) because a friend wanted
to see it, still not that interesting and some had stolen the gauges off the
control panel
