Дайв-сайты: Gulf of Aqaba

The reef complex includes several M-60 tanks, armoured personnel carriers, a military ambulance, an anti-aircraft gun, and various military transport vehicles deliberately sunk by the Royal Jordanian Army to create artificial reef habitat. The centrepiece is a Lockheed C-130 Hercules transport aircraft sunk in 2017, which sits upright on the sandy bottom and has rapidly become colonized by marine life. All vehicles were thoroughly cleaned of pollutants before sinking, and they are positioned at varying depths between 15 and 28 metres.

Penetration of the larger vehicles and the C-130 aircraft is possible but should only be done with proper training and a guide. The cargo bay of the C-130 is open and spacious enough for careful exploration by experienced divers. Some of the tank turrets and APC interiors are accessible but tight. The Jordanian dive community and JREDS conservation organization monitor the site and encourage responsible diving practices. Touching the structures is discouraged as the coral growth that makes the site increasingly beautiful is still developing.

King Abdullah Reef is a shore dive accessible from the southern coast road of Aqaba, within the Aqaba Marine Park. Divers enter from the beach and swim on the surface to the descent point, or some operators provide zodiac boats for the short ride. The main vehicle cluster starts at around 15 metres on a sandy slope. Multiple dive centres in Aqaba city offer guided dives to the site, and it is one of the most popular dives in Jordan. Entry fees apply as the site is within the marine park.
