The Diving in Aqaba

Aqaba is recognised as one of the top Ultimate Shore Dive Destinations (Sport Diver: Dive Destinations 2007); no long surface swims, or scrambling over rocks!

Take one step into the water and your dive starts immediately as the reefs start practically at the water's edge, making it an ideal environment for divers and snorkellers alike.
Easy entry into fringing reef systems teeming with life; coral pinnacles and canyons leading to the deep.... In fact at most dive sites 50m from the shore entry and you are already approaching depths of 40m and more. There are dive boats, however, because most dive centres run short sailing trip to offshore diving sites.

One of the most popular dive sites is the wreck of the Cedar Pride, a freighter sunk in 1985, now forming an interesting man-made reef. There is also an Anti Aircraft Tracked Vehicle - "The Tank", barely 10 m from the shore the treads are at 6m. Located by Oliver's Canyon, it makes a superb safety stop as well as an excellent snorkel site.

The reefs in Aqaba support many unique species, Frog Fish, Ghost Pipe Fish, Harlequin Shrimp and Seahorses! A truly unique eco-system, there is something to interest everyone, from beginners to more advanced divers.
