In 2017, the Royal Jordanian Air Force scuttled a decommissioned C-130 Hercules transport plane in Aqaba's Underwater Military Museum. Now sits intact at 16-20 m, with full superstructure and tail. The most photographed dive in Jordan.
Adjacent to the Aqaba thermal power plant, this site combines a steep reef wall with the warm-water outflow that grows the densest soft-coral cover anywhere in Jordan. Advanced or experienced Open Water; depth profile 18-30 m.
A 74-metre cargo ship that caught fire in 1982, was towed to Aqaba, and scuttled in 1985 as an artificial reef. Now lies on its port side at 25 m, fully intact superstructure, with two decades of coral growth.
Open Water-friendly, accessible from shore at Tala Bay, 5–18 m depth, and the Aqaba reef wall starts a few metres from the entry point. The reef site Aqaba dive shops use for first-timers and refresher dives.
