Definitely worth checking out! The water is crystal clear and there is actually an underwater military museum in the Red Sea near Aqaba!

The L-1011 Tristar was my favorite aircraft as well. Interesting this one in the video of the interior missing the center isle seats... Perhaps in the process of a freighter conversion. I do wonder how it wound up on the bottom of the Red Sea? As well the condition on the plane very much intact. Low speed impact? Or perhaps it was ditched overboard from a ship?

@@petermodaffari1142 good guess but it was most likely used as a cargo and then stripped by the government, then used as an artificial reef or sunk on purpose, could not have been a crash

That’s interesting! It’s cool to see how much sea life has grown on and inside, I’m sure another year from now will be even more incredible!

Definitely, it’s really cool to see! Also it’s actually good for the ecosystem down there because the reef grows on the airplane, and it provides a home for the fish and wildlife!

​@@blakerobert13so did they remove harmful chemicals before submerging the aircraft?

Thank you! 🙏🏼

Haven’t heard of them, I’ll have to check it out next time I’m out there! We went with a group called Diversity Diving and it was an awesome experience!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Thanks Tim, but it’s actually just scuba diving terminology. Wreck diving is a thrilling and adventurous type of scuba diving that involves exploring large sunken objects, such as a ship or airplane, underwater.

“Wreck diving is recreational diving where the wreckage of ships, aircraft and other artificial structures are explored. Although most wreck dive sites are at shipwrecks, there is an increasing trend to scuttle retired ships to create artificial reef sites. Diving to crashed aircraft can also be considered wreck diving.[1] The recreation of wreck diving makes no distinction as to how the vessel ended up on the bottom.” Also a direct reference from Wikipedia

Yes, it was definitely an amazing dive! I wasn’t aware this type aircraft had several deadly crashes, thanks for sharing! 😮

Hate to burst your bubble but this is a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar. Way ahead of its time. It could land itself

@@idkwhattoputhere447 oh i didnt know, thanks for the fact.

Its a Lockheed L1011 tristar.

Thank you, great movie too! 😊

Thank you! It was decommissioned and sunk just for scuba divers to enjoy! There is actually an entire underwater military museum in the Red Sea off the coast of Aqaba, Jordan.

Thank you, it was incredible! I didn’t expect to see that skeleton either, definitely caught me by surprise 😳

Allah

Must have been a wild ride! 😬😬

Thank you 🙏🏼

I don’t think they’re real, I think someone put them there as an attraction, but maybe not! 😳

Yes! There’s a few scuba diving and snorkeling companies out of Aqaba, Jordan. We went with a company called Diversity Diving, highly recommend!

I’m not entirely sure, but I would imagine that another scuba diver set that up as a funny prop, and the bones aren’t real. But they could be haha! 😳

There is very initial video of this airplane that skeleton seems to be put there later on.

@@amitnarayankar Yeah, I think you’re probably right, still pretty cool to look at though!

Yes,

Probably it's not true. Because bodies/bones are always rescued in order to recognize the person who died.

Oui, merci ! 😎

Yes, the plane is real! 😊

@@blakerobert13 😳ohh my god. Its crashed plan?🥺

No, fortunately it was just a decommissioned plane that was sunk their as a scuba diving attraction! 😮‍💨

@@blakerobert13 😊

It was about 100 USD for 2 dives and it’s from a diving company out of Aqaba in Jordan! 😊
