C-130 Hercules
La profundidad indica el rango desde la parte superior del punto hasta su máximo habitual; la "certificación recomendada" es el nivel que los operadores suelen exigir según las principales agencias, no una norma legal. Las corrientes y la visibilidad cambian a diario — considera todo esto como rangos de planificación.
A retired Royal Jordanian Air Force C-130 Hercules was sunk here in November 2017, settling upright and intact on the sand - and then the sea edited it. Winter storms have since broken the airframe, folding wings and opening the fuselage, and the damage improved the dive: what began as a parked aircraft now reads as a genuine crash tableau, cockpit agape, control yokes in place, light falling through torn aluminum. The cargo bay makes a wide, safe swim-through with exits everywhere, gentle enough for newer divers with a guide. Glassfish have claimed the flight deck and lionfish the wing roots. Shallow, calm, and minutes from the beach, it slots into almost any Aqaba itinerary and photographs far bigger than its depth suggests.
El momento por el que vienes: An intact cockpit going feral; the cargo-bay swim-through; storm damage that made the site more atmospheric.
Topografía: A four-engine transport aircraft on sand at about 17 meters
Entrada: A short swim out near the Tank and Seven Sisters area; often paired with neighboring shallow sites in one dive.
Lo que debes saber antes de tirarte al agua
Riesgos: Sharp torn aluminum around the breaks; mild surge inside the fuselage on windy days.
Nitrox: Vale la pena aquí — los perfiles se sitúan en el rango donde el aire enriquecido (nitrox) amplía de forma significativa el tiempo sin descompresión (con la formación necesaria para usarlo).
