This dive site is a unique artificial reef created in 1999 by the Jordanian Royal Ecological Diving Society. The centerpiece of this remarkable location is an M42 "Duster" anti-aircraft tank, which was recovered and subsequently cleaned and scuttled by the military. This process transformed the tank into a thriving habitat for marine life, providing an exciting experience for both snorkelers and divers. Located in Jordan, it offers an unusual dive site with a fascinating history. The visibility at this location is generally good, allowing divers to fully appreciate the scale of the wreck and observe the diverse array of fish and other aquatic creatures that have made it their home.
