Dive to Lockheed L-1011 TriStar in the Red Sea (8 photos + 2 videos)
The Lockheed Martin L1011 Tristar was sunk at the bottom of the Red Sea in 2019 and is now home to marine life. Photographer and avid diver Brett Heltzer explored the Jordan landmark. 
The Lockheed Martin L1011 Tristar rolled off the production line in the 1980s and was used by Royal Jordanian Airlines, Portuguese TAP Air and Luzair, and Swedish Novair.
Having served its term, the aircraft stood for many years at King Hussein International Airport in Jordan. 
In the early 2000s, the Aqaba Special Economic Zone Authority bought the plane and sank it in the Gulf of Aqaba. This contributed to the development of diving tourism and the growth of corals.
Daredevils go to a depth of 15-28 meters to explore the liner and the artificial reef. 
All three engines are still in place, and the cockpit, lavatories and galley remain intact, according to the 2022 Scuba Diving magazine.
A number of chairs were removed to give divers more freedom to explore. 
Brett Heltzer said: “The cockpit is shore-facing and is located at a depth of about 13 meters. Scuba divers can swim to the rear to the two far exits, which are at a depth of 28 meters. Or they can swim out of the doors in the middle of the vessel at a depth of about 20 meters. ".
This is one of the most popular dive sites in Aqaba.
Last year, a post featuring Tristar appeared on social media. The headline read: "MH370, which disappeared nine years ago, has been found on the ocean floor with no human remains."
Experts quickly refuted the news.
Flight MH370, en route from Kuala Lumpur to Beijing, disappeared on March 8, 2014, with 239 passengers on board. His whereabouts still remain a mystery.
According to British specialist Simon Hardy, the disappearance of the Malaysian Boeing was planned. The pilot, Zachary Ahad Shah, was experiencing problems in his personal life; he may have intentionally sent the plane into the ocean.
