The Underwater Military Museum is an artificial reef site in Aqaba, Jordan, on the Red Sea coast, and is recognised as the world's first underwater military museum. It consists of 21 decommissioned military relics — including tanks, armoured carriers and a helicopter — arranged in battle formation on the seabed, creating a submerged battlefield tableau rather than a single wreck.
The site spans a depth range of 5 m to 28 m (maximum verified depth 28.3 m), with the shallowest exhibits accessible to snorkellers and the deepest reaching the bottom of recreational limits. The vehicles are spread across the sandy seabed in a deliberate tactical arrangement, giving the dive a strong structural and visual character throughout its extent.
Entry is listed as suitable for all levels at the shallower sections, though the site as a whole is categorised as Advanced, reflecting the depth range and the medium current that can run across the site. Visibility is rated good, consistent with Aqaba's broader range of 15–40 m. Water temperature in the area runs 21–27 °C.
