THE DIVING IN Aqaba

All the dive sites in Jordan are located very close to the shore line, so both boat and shore diving access the same sites, it is just a matter of which mode of transport is preferred. The diving along this coast line is very good relative to other diving in the Northern Red Sea. It is an excellent choice for both beginners and the more experienced diver. There is some especially exciting diving close to the Saudi border where you will find deep walls only very recently discovered! There is also one of the best wreck dives in the Red Sea here, the 'Cedar Pride' - this is an astonishing dive!!

It is an excellent training facility in a perfect situation at the water's edge with a home reef area on its threshold! The Royal Diving Centre is a purpose built complex with a private jetty, compressor room, equipment storage, lecture rooms, café, and large swimming pool with sunbathing area. If yo are not staying at the Coral Bay Hotel you will be collected from your hotel each morning by the dive centre transport.

As well as the home reef area immediately in front of the Royal Diving Club, there is an extensive and prolific reef stretching along the coastline on either side. Dive sites can be accessed by boat or from the shore.
