Hunden un Boeing 747 en el parque submarino más grande del mundo

A plane sunk in the largest underwater park in the world to be dived, to experience in the world of dives.

Pero, ¿cuánto pudiera medir un «Jumbo»?

Boeing 747, más conocido como Jumbo, es un avión comercial de fuselaje ancho, fabricado por Boeing, destacado mundialmente por su gran tamaño y su gran peso. Es un avión que va a relucir en uno de los parques submarinos más hermosos que nos podamos encontrar en el planeta Tierra y por eso, hoy te contamos una noticia muy destacada en el ABC, a story that will give you the desire to go diving there.

Bahrain, located in the Persian Gulf, will open next summer the largest underwater theme park in the world that will occupy some 100,000 square meters and that includes, among other attractions, a Boeing 747 70 meters long removed from the market and sunk to be dived.

In addition to the plane, the park will have different structures that will be manufactured with ecological material as a scale replica of a pearl merchants house which will become a refuge for marine life and will serve as coral nurseries in order to obtain artificial reefs. On the surface the project will promote the growth of invertebrates, particularly oysters.

Impact on marine life

According to Bahrain Tourism and Exhibition Authority (BTEA), que creó el proyecto en cooperación con el Consejo Supremo para el Medio Ambiente y el sector privado, el parque fue diseñado para tener un positive impact on marine life and all efforts have been made to limit the environmental footprint of the project. So, 747 has been decontaminated de todo el cableado, todos los sistemas hidráulicos, neumáticos y de combustible, y todos los adhesivos, aislantes, plásticos, cauchos, productos químicos u otras sustancias tóxicas potenciales. Las superficies de la aeronave se someterán a un lavado a alta presión con detergentes que no dañan el medio ambiente para garantizar que todos los recubrimientos de posproducción, el aceite y la suciedad se eliminen antes de sumergirlos.

The site, which is expected to open, at least in part, in summer 2019, will be available to students of schools and universities as a "live laboratory", which will allow them to carry out practical experiments.

Therefore, Bareín thus joins other countries that have also created underwater parks with submerged airplanes. In 2006, a Boeing 737 sank off the coast of British Columbia, Canada, and in 2016 Turkey sank an Airbus A300 off the Aegean Sea coast.
