The Process

Clean the airplane fuselages of any materials that will be of environmental harm. This includes removing all interior cushioning, wiring, oil, etc.
Cut the wings off of the planes so that they can be transported on a truck (through town!) to the site where they will be rebuilt.
Rebuild the planes to their former glory including welding on wings and tails and making sure there are no sharp edges for divers.
Add art! Engage the local community in making these a piece of art to be proud of.
Conduct bathymetric surveys to ensure that it is the best possible location for the planes for both diver accessibility and potential for coral growth and juvenile fish habitat.
Place the airplanes on a barge and tow them to their sink site.
Sink the planes and use the engineering skills of Commercial Dive Services to ensure that they sink upright.
Add ballast to the bottoms of the planes as well as helical anchors to ensure they stay in place for generations to come.
Make The Planes a BVI attraction for tourism, while simultaneously doing all we can to encourage local youth to get involved in the ocean community and benefit from the the BVI's many ocean-going job opportunities.
Monitor coral growth and fish populations as they flock to the artificial reef.
