Dive sites of Aqaba - Jordan
with over 30 sites along our coastline most of which are in the Aqaba Marine Park.There is a large variety of differing topography and differing habitats within a small area.
This side of the Gulf we have lots of upwelling from the depths bringing nutrients to the reef and thus prolific marine life. The reefs are protected and unspoilt.
All except our "Tec Dive" sites are suitable for snorkeling. Below you will find links for each site with photos all taken recently which are updated on a regular basis so you know what the sites are like now and what you are likely to see there.
There are descriptions of 30 recreational and technical dive sites and links to maps for most of the sites.
Sites are listed from North to South
