In 2006, volunteers lowered a stripped Boeing 737 into the Pacific; 20 years later, the jet has become a cold-water artificial reef

A retired Boeing 737 now rests on the seafloor off Vancouver Island. This aircraft was transformed into an artificial reef by Canada. The Xihuw Reef attracts numerous fish and marine invertebrates. Divers explore the sunken jet, which serves as a popular dive destination. This human-made structure has become a thriving marine habitat.
