This an American M40 Anti-aircraft tracked vehicle,
originally in employ of the Jordanian Army it was
scuttled as an artificial reef on September 1st 1999 by
the Jordanian Royal Ecological Diving Society and has
since accumulated a lot of marine life. Some reports in
the diving press that it was Russian came from ill
informed visitors. If you check out the compressed air
start tanks at the back of the engine bay they are
marked with a working pressure in psi. Russian would be
bar or kilopascals. Anyway we have the report from JREDS
and the Jordanian Army. It is now a popular snorkeling
and diving attraction. |
