LOCKHEED L-1011 TRISTAR

Aqaba diving is a popular pastime for certain people, and wreck diving is considered very interesting. While shipwrecks are relatively common, you will be hard-pressed to easily dive on a plane. One place you can find one is in Jordan, where there Lockheed L-1011 TriStar that lives beneath the waves as well

OVERALL OF THE LOCKHEED TRISTAR

There once was an L-1011-500 TriStar delivered from Palmdale to Royal Jordanian on 3 June 1985. After a few years of service, it went to TAP Air Portugal in 1989, Air India in 1995, Novair in 1998, Air Luxor in 2000 and finally Luzair in 2004.

BOAT TRIP

THE TRISTAR

Several sites were considered for the plane, before selecting one that is 15-28 metres deep and located adjacent to the Aqaba Container Terminal. Before the aircraft was scuttled to become a diving reef, all hazardous material was removed, of course. So, what’s it like to dive on a plane?

DIVE VIDEO EXPLORING THE TRISTAR

Quite frankly you will be surprised to see so much of the interior intact. you will have a lot of fun exploring, and you would love to dive into the rear engine inlet for some reason. There is also a Lockheed C-130 Hercules sunk in the same area, so there’s more than one to explore.
