I instantly recognized the l-1011 tristar, my favorite aircraft. I will definatly dive it one day

[@blakerobert13]

Definitely worth checking out! The water is crystal clear and there is actually an underwater military museum in the Red Sea near Aqaba!

[@petermodaffari1142]

The L-1011 Tristar was my favorite aircraft as well. Interesting this one in the video of the interior missing the center isle seats... Perhaps in the process of a freighter conversion. I do wonder how it wound up on the bottom of the Red Sea? As well the condition on the plane very much intact. Low speed impact? Or perhaps it was ditched overboard from a ship?

[@TheYoungDiver-i1v]

@@petermodaffari1142 good guess but it was most likely used as a cargo and then stripped by the government, then used as an artificial reef or sunk on purpose, could not have been a crash

[@ice711real]

This is quite incredible actually, a brilliant idea to put the aircraft to tourism use instead of just scrapping it. Also, too see how the aircraft slowly decays in the water over the years recorded by tourists will be quite interesting. Would love to visit one day!

[@blakerobert13]

Definitely, it’s really cool to see! Also it’s actually good for the ecosystem down there because the reef grows on the airplane, and it provides a home for the fish and wildlife!

[@revived5609]

​@@blakerobert13so did they remove harmful chemicals before submerging the aircraft?

[@HajdeBreVise]

Great place. AI can not believe how much it has changed within 12 months between my and your dive. At mine, it was still looking almost like new from the outside. A lot has grown inside as well. Very nice dive.

[@blakerobert13]

That’s interesting! It’s cool to see how much sea life has grown on and inside, I’m sure another year from now will be even more incredible!

[@imransharif443]

Very nice video

[@blakerobert13]

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed the video 😊

Vous avez trouvé combien de squelette ?

[@explores40]

Cool drive I like all the cool fish with this airplane was it turned into like reef and sunk it or did it cash at some point in time just curious.🤠

[@blakerobert13]

Thank you! It was decommissioned and sunk just for scuba divers to enjoy! There is actually an entire underwater military museum in the Red Sea off the coast of Aqaba, Jordan.

[@amaan-the-analyst]

Wow mate it's must be cool to dive out there. Seeing the body is craziest part.

[@blakerobert13]

Thank you, it was incredible! I didn’t expect to see that skeleton either, definitely caught me by surprise 😳

[@venessariley3285]

Deep Blue Dive Center is amazing for deep sea diving in the red sea! Highly recommended

[@blakerobert13]

Haven’t heard of them, I’ll have to check it out next time I’m out there! We went with a group called Diversity Diving and it was an awesome experience!

[@DR-72]

L'assetto ....quello sconosciuto. La pinneggiata? Quella sconosciuta

[@lapoianniello6180]

I will like to visit this abandoned plane, there's any tour operator organizing immersion or is just a private thing?

[@blakerobert13]

Yes! There’s a few scuba diving and snorkeling companies out of Aqaba, Jordan. We went with a company called Diversity Diving, highly recommend!

Thank you 🙏🏼

[@pamelaemanuela8050]

Será que é verdade isso mesmo

[@zohraamel7030]

How much did you pay ?? And where ?

[@blakerobert13]

It was about 100 USD for 2 dives and it’s from a diving company out of Aqaba in Jordan! 😊

[@user-bg6xb3ce8b]

DC-10

Cái xác chết đó không thể tin nổi,

[@rickswineberg]

Reminds me of the movie Into the Blue

[@blakerobert13]

Thank you, great movie too! 😊

[@AstroY19]

Wow, a DC-10 one of the rarest planes to abord because of its deadly crashes, im suprised you guys went down there and explores the plane.

[@blakerobert13]

Yes, it was definitely an amazing dive! I wasn’t aware this type aircraft had several deadly crashes, thanks for sharing! 😮

[@idkwhattoputhere447]

Hate to burst your bubble but this is a Lockheed L-1011 Tristar. Way ahead of its time. It could land itself

[@AstroY19]

@@idkwhattoputhere447 oh i didnt know, thanks for the fact.

Hey, I like your video but what you saw in comfort room (body/bones) was real?

[@blakerobert13]

I’m not entirely sure, but I would imagine that another scuba diver set that up as a funny prop, and the bones aren’t real. But they could be haha! 😳

[@amitnarayankar]

There is very initial video of this airplane that skeleton seems to be put there later on.

[@blakerobert13]

@@amitnarayankar Yeah, I think you’re probably right, still pretty cool to look at though!

[@sahilahmad6158]

Yes,

[@artaxerxessantos4157]

Probably it's not true. Because bodies/bones are always rescued in order to recognize the person who died.

[@timdavies5219]

It's not a 'wreck'. It's an abandoned Tristar aircraft that was sunk there deliberately as a diving attraction.

[@blakerobert13]

Thanks Tim, but it’s actually just scuba diving terminology. Wreck diving is a thrilling and adventurous type of scuba diving that involves exploring large sunken objects, such as a ship or airplane, underwater.

[@blakerobert13]

“Wreck diving is recreational diving where the wreckage of ships, aircraft and other artificial structures are explored. Although most wreck dive sites are at shipwrecks, there is an increasing trend to scuttle retired ships to create artificial reef sites. Diving to crashed aircraft can also be considered wreck diving.[1] The recreation of wreck diving makes no distinction as to how the vessel ended up on the bottom.” Also a direct reference from Wikipedia
