This underwater museum is one of the first of its kind in the world and offers a fascinating blend of history and marine conservation.
The museum features several decommissioned military vehicles and equipment that have been purposefully submerged to create an artificial reef and an underwater exhibit. The idea behind the project was to provide an alternative to conventional coral reefs, which are facing threats from pollution and climate change, and to create an environment that promotes marine life and biodiversity.
Visitors who are certified divers have the opportunity to explore the submerged military vehicles up close, including tanks, helicopters, and other military equipment. The site has become a popular diving destination, attracting diving enthusiasts and history lovers alike.
The underwater museum not only offers a unique experience for divers but also serves as a reminder of Jordan’s military history and the efforts being made to protect and preserve marine ecosystems.
