Catalinas in Solomons
6yrs ago I was diving in the Solomon Is.
One night in the Gizo Hotel a local told me of 3 Catalinas that had been sunk in a mountain lake to stop the Japs getting them.
He said they were in good condition as the lake is freshwater (quite normal for a mountain lake I would suggest) and that he thought the only challenge to recovering them is/was crocodiles.
Fact or fiction, I have no idea but more importantly I have no idea where to start researching this topic... any help would be appreciated.
