Lying at the bottom of the Mediterranean, this rusting piece of history is a haven for shrimp, tropical fish, and intrepid divers.

The Douglas Dakota DC-3 which was used as a transporter by a Turkish paratroop regiment in World War Two today sits at the bottom of the Mediterranean - its twin propeller engines now rusted and covered in coral.

The plane, which is 21 metres beneath the surface, was deliberately sunk in waters of Cas, Turkey, in July 2009 to create an underwater playground for divers.

The submerged aircraft is now home to schools of tropical fish. Shrimp gobies live in the cool sand in the shadow of the plane and barracudas drift past the wings in search of food.
