Diving into aircraft under sea in Jordan
As part of its strategy to expand and diversify the tourism products in the Jordanian coastal city of Aqaba, The Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority (ASEZA) has developed a new diving site recently to increase the number of coral reef and marine life.
The ASEZA submerged the body of an out-of-service military transporter Hercules aircraft, which was donated by the Royal Jordanian Air Force, to provide another unique site for global diving fans.
The aircraft, which was used by the Royal Jordanian Air Force to transport soldiers and participated in many military and humanitarian missions, was scuttled and submerged in the southern beach shore of Aqaba where Jordanian authorities previously submerged a battle tank in the late 1990s.
The city of Aqaba is a world leading destination for the sport of diving and such initiatives will maintain its status and further attract local, regional and international tourists.

Washington salvage company discovers location of famous shipwreck nearly 150 years later
A salvage company in Washington has located wreckage from one of the deadliest maritime disasters in Northwest history off Cape Flattery near the Neah Bay.
The sonar images are unmistakable to the trained eye. They show a shipwreck more than 1,000-feet deep off the Washington coast.
In November of 1875 the steamship S-S Pacific was traveling from Seattle to San Francisco when it collided with a large sailing ship in the dark of night.
"It had a major impact on the Northwest. It was the first ship that was carrying passengers on a regularly scheduled service between Seattle and San Francisco."
Current estimates put the number of passengers at 325 people, but there were probably more. Only two people survived.
Also on board were tons of oats and hops, hides, 230 tons of coal, and a substantial amount of gold.
Jeff Hummel has been exploring Northwest waters since the 80s and his love of history has driven him to search for Pacific. It was an endeavor that began in 1993 and was reignited in 2017, after years of painstaking research.
"Eventually I found a commercial fisherman who brought up some old coal and just by strange circumstance he happened to still have the piece and so I was able to get it chemically analyzed by a laboratory up in Alberta," Hummel said.

Sunken Sewol-ho ferry pulled up above surface in three years
Our starting point is the ongoing Sewol-ho salvaging operation.
The tragic ferry incident led to 304 deaths in 2014.
Koreans finally got to see the sunken vessel in its entirety as it was brought up above the surface.
Kim Ji-yeon updates us on the progress,
Here and there, the hull of the Sewol-ho ferry was cracked, broken and blackened -- rusted in places, after three years in the depths of the sea off Korea's southwestern coast.
After a tense week of salvage work to bring the ferry up above the surface and safely onto a semi-submersible ship,... the operation has hit a pause for now as workers wait for water and leftover oil to naturally drain out of the vessel,... which is expected to take at least two to four days.
White absorbent paper was laid on the ocean surface to soak up the leaking oil... while ships in the vicinity sprayed salty water over the black oil trail to try to make it evaporate into the air.
If it takes longer than four days, workers may have to drill holes into the ship. But that's considered a last resort... as there's a risk that the personal effects and belongings of the victims could be washed away.
After it's drained, the ferry should be ready to set sail for the last time... to the closet port... some 90 kilometers away... where it can finally be hoisted up onto dry land.
At that point it'll be inspected for clues as to what precisely caused it to capsize.
Kim Ji-yeon, Arirang News.
