Cedar Pride

Jordan's flagship wreck began as a Lebanese-flagged freighter gutted by fire while berthed in Aqaba in 1982; three years later she was towed out and scuttled as an artificial reef, a project championed by the royal family, and the sea has spent four decades saying thank you. The Cedar Pride lies on her port side spanning two reef ridges, which leaves a shadowed swim-through beneath the hull where soft corals grow upside down and sunbeams enter sideways. Masts, kingposts, and a crow's nest extend over the sand, all thickly colonized; lionfish hold the companionways and schooling fish shade the deck. Accessible from the beach yet substantial enough to fill repeat dives, she is the rare wreck that suits nearly everyone.

वह पल जिसके लिए आप आते हैं: The swim-through beneath the hull; soft-coral growth on masts and rails; shore-accessible wreck diving at moderate depth.

टोपोग्राफी: A freighter lying on her port side bridging two reef ridges over sand

प्रवेश: Reached from the beach over a short surface swim or by boat; a marked line guides divers out across the reef shelf.

खतरे: Mild surge in the under-hull passage; monofilament snags near the masts; boat traffic over the site.

संरक्षण: Inside the Aqaba marine reserve - no touching, no collection, and stay off the fragile inverted growth in the swim-through.

Nitrox: यहाँ इसका फ़ायदा है — प्रोफ़ाइल उस रेंज में हैं जहाँ enriched air no-stop समय को सार्थक रूप से बढ़ाता है (इसके उपयोग के प्रशिक्षण के साथ)।
