Scuba

A C-130 Hercules transport plane was scuttled in Aqaba to create a new artificial reef. The massive plane sits upright on the sand, and its cavernous cargo bay has been opened up to allow for very easy and safe penetration.

Features

A large military transport aircraft that was sunk as a dive site. The plane is fully intact and sits on a sandy bottom. The cargo bay is open, allowing divers to swim right through the fuselage. A very unique and photogenic dive.
