Many Aqaba wrecks are recent 20th-century losses like the 1985 Cedar Pride; Aqaba itself is Jordan’s only seaport and has long been a crossroads of Red Sea trade.
Conservation
Most dive sites fall inside Aqaba Marine Park; operators emphasize reef-safe sunscreens and careful buoyancy to reduce coral damage.
