Key Takeaways:

U.S. Navy divers are currently spending the week off the coast of Florida investigating quite an unusual find: A Curtiss SB2C Helldiver lying upside down approximately 185 feet below the water’s surface.

The aircraft was spotted several months ago by a group of individuals on a routine tech dive near the waters off the coastal town of Jupiter. Since then, questions surrounding the airplane’s history, how it got there and who was flying it, have remained a mystery.
