In 2016, Turkey deliberately sank an entire Airbus A300, turning a passenger jet into an artificial reef, 75 feet below the surface

A decommissioned Airbus A300 was deliberately submerged off the coast of Turkey to enhance diving tourism and safeguard marine ecosystems. This initiative reflects a rising trend along Turkey's shoreline. Though divers are drawn to shipwrecks, many still favor natural habitats. These man-made reefs provide an extraordinary underwater adventure for tourists seeking unique experiences.
