Aqaba, the only coastal city in Jordan, is on the northernmost tip of the Red Sea. The waters of the Gulf of Aqaba continue to captivate divers with its underwater mysteries. Deep Blue Dive Center invites you to embark on an unforgettable adventure as we introduce you to the two newest additions to Aqaba’s wreck diving scene: the Tristar Plane and the Underwater Military Museum. Join us as we dive into the depths and explore these fascinating sites, each carrying its own unique story and allure.
Tristar Plane: A Flight to History
The Tristar Plane, a once-soaring 400-seater jetliner, has found a new home beneath the waves of Aqaba. Sunk intentionally in 2019 as an addition to the area’s artificial reef system, this aircraft now offers divers a chance to witness the transformation of technology into marine habitat. The Tristar Plane beckons with its wings spread wide, providing a stunning underwater tableau and a backdrop for unforgettable photographs. Our experienced guides at Deep Blue Dive Center ensure your safety as you navigate through the aircraft’s compartments, where marine life has taken residence, turning it into an ecosystem teeming with vibrant activity.
Underwater Military Museum: Commemorating History’s Depths
Aqaba’s history as a strategic military hub is brought to life through the innovative Underwater Military Museum. This immersive site features a collection of 19 military vehicles and artifacts, carefully arranged in battle formation on the seabed to create an educational and thought-provoking experience. With the guidance of Deep Blue Dive Center, you’ll have the unique opportunity to explore tanks, artillery, and other remnants from different eras.
