Welcome to picturesque Aqaba, Jordan, home to one of the world’s most unique dive sites – the Tristar Aircraft Dive Site!
Initially parked and seemingly forgotten for years at King Hussein International Airport near the shores of the Red Sea, the Tristar aircraft was sunk into Jordan’s Gulf of Aqaba in 2019, with the aim of promoting dive tourism and coral growth.
For an unforgettable diving experience, the Tristar Aircraft Dive Site is a must-visit destination. Unlike any other dive site, it offers divers the opportunity to explore a retired Lockheed L-1011 Tristar aircraft from both inside and outside.
Nestled in the Gulf of Aqaba, the Tristar Aircraft Dive Site is now a thriving ecosystem, with marine life making the aircraft their home. Divers can expect encounters with a diverse array of marine creatures, including colorful schools of fish, moray eels, octopuses, and even the occasional turtle.
Suitable for both beginner and experienced divers, the site has a maximum depth of around 27 meters. Exploring the interior and exterior of the aircraft is made accessible with easy access points and clear visibility, ensuring an unforgettable dive experience.
Aqaba’s warm waters and clear visibility make it an ideal diving destination, with the Tristar Aircraft Dive Site standing as a must-visit attraction for diving enthusiasts. Beyond underwater exploration, Aqaba offers a range of activities including shopping, dining, and cultural experiences.
