Cedar Pride Wreck is a scuttled Lebanese freighter resting on its side off Aqaba, now a classic artificial reef dive. Divers typically tour the exterior along the hull and superstructure, with optional penetration for trained wreck divers. The site sits between nearby reefs and is reached from shore or boat, with a mooring buoy and calm-water planning around entry and exit.
