Claudia,
We had some real problems with airplanes used as artificial reefs here in
Hawaii.
A major storm rolled through here a few years ago and ripped the planes to
shreds scattering pieces of metal over a wide area of reef. The planes
were in fairly deep water (70' - 100' as I recall).
I would NOT recommend sinking planes as artificial reefs.
