Every other dive I take clients to a shipwreck named 'Cedar Pride'. This 74 meter long wreck lies on her side with the deepest point around 25 meters. Formerly used as a Lebanese freighter she caught on fire and after a few years was purposely sunk in 1985 for recreational diving. Jordanian king Abdallah is an avid diver and played a major role in the whole sinking production.
She has been down there for almost thirty years now and is slowly but surely collecting a variety of marine life. Lush soft, hard and black corals are attached to her hull, deck and around the crow's nest. Guilded Pipefish, Nudibranchs, schools of fish, you name it and it has found a spot on the Cedar Pride. Imagine what she will look like in 50 years...
