Comments	I had a 6 hour layover in Aqaba Jordan before returning to Israel. I had read about the Jordanian government sinking military vehicles to create an underwater museum. (See [bbc.com link]) I took a chance and went to a dive shop and asked if they could take me there. Fortunately, the 5 star PADI dive shop Sindbad agreed to take just me, and for only $50 I had a private guide and all Aqualung rental equipment provided. A short van ride and a shore entry and I was in the 75 degree water seeing a tank and a C-130 plane, as well as some large puffer fish, clown fish, lion fish, etc. My private guide Mathieu was excellent. On my return there were excellent showers and changing rooms, and the beach club had a great pool and restaurant.
