UA - If the aircraft came down where the initial report indicated (15nm south of Dungeness), the seabed should be at no more than 30-40m, which is easily within recreational dive limits (that would be my other way of passing weekends), though I am not sure what the currents are like in that part of the Channel as the nearest to this I've dived is off Devon & Cornwall.
You would, of course, have to know where to dive first, and there is a great deal of other wreckage in the Channel which might make locating a small aircraft rather difficult, but it should not be a problem getting people down there if a location can be established. Not sure what the pros would charge for such an operation but it does not seem that it would require any technical diving.
