The Project Manager at Dive Bahrain, Hamad Al Mahmeed, announced their preparations on sinking a 70-metre Boeing 747 as part of an underwater theme park. The Boeing 747 is the largest aircraft ever to be submerged.
Specifically, the first phase of Dive Bahrain had divers and tugboats collaborating in order to relocate the jet in the Arabian Gulf, in its permanent, from now on, position.
The Dive Bahrain worked for eight months, in light of the preparation of the Boeing’s submersion.
As Hamad Al Mahmeed commented
We could have just sunk it the way it was when it was transported here, but that’s not our intention.
