many of the Bond films had underwater scenes. The one in Mexico had to be the one in Thunderball. I have had no way to corroborate this. We have a mystery here. Thunderball was the James Bond movie best known for its underwater scenes, but the IMDb does not list Cozumel as one of the many shooting locations for Thunderball. Yet, Cozumel has a "Thunderball Reef" and a "sunken plane" which is apparently not the Vulcan bomber used in Thunderball, but a different plane used in a Mexican disaster film. Anyone else? This just in: An image search revealed that the sunken airplane in Cozumel is a passenger plane. The sunken bomber and reef scenery for Thunderball was filmed in Nassau. Since the RAF would no more have donated a Vulcan to be sunk for a movie than the USAF would have donated a B-52, it was no surprise that a mock-up was used for the Vulcan, and its framework is still there. The question presupposes that one of the James Bond movies had underwater scenes filmed at Cozumel; a world-class destination for Scuba divers and snorkelers. Is it not possible that the reef reminded them of the movie Thunderball, complete with a sunken aircraft from a different move? Over the years, such a nickname could have sparked the belief that a James Bond movie was filmed there. Such misconceptions have happened before.
The Airplane wreck was a 40 passenger, twin engine, short-range Convair 660 airliner. The craft, which was built by the Convair Division of the General Dynamics Corporation, was deliberately sunk in June of 1977 as a movie prop for the Mexican movie "Survive II". The Plane wreck is now a tourist attraction, that is if the tourists are divers. She is lying upside down in 40 feet of water, only 100 yards out from the La Ceiba Hotel. This wreck is an easy beach dive and has remained remarkably intact. Divers can enter a small area through an open door just aft of her cockpit or swim under either of her wings where small schools of tropical fish can usually be found. Her hull is cleaned daily by parrot fish who leave deep teeth marks in her fuselage. Wide angle Photography is best here, and you can easily capture the entire wreck on one photo. According to Doc Vikingo the Plane/Airplane Wreck had been only marginally intact until Hurricane Wilma pretty much finished her off. Now just a few parts strewn about are all that are left.
