QuickCheck: Was a Jumbo Jet sunk off Bahrain as a scuba diving attraction?

WHEN it comes to scuba diving, it goes without saying that one way to create adventures that attract divers to nature parks would be to create artificial reefs using old vehicles such as ships or aircraft.

Over the years, it has been claimed that a retired Jumbo Jet – a Boeing 747 – was turned into an artificial reef at an offshore dive park in Bahrain, and it has also been claimed online that this 747 began its service life as an airliner plying the skies for Malaysia Airlines.
