Six old tanks and four other military vehicles, all of which had been donated by the Lebanese Army, were submerged to form a habitat where coral reefs could grow and reproduce. /VCG Photo

The artificial reef will aim to rejuvenate marine life near Sidon's coast and also be a destination for tourists and divers. /VCG Photo
