Why dive with Dive Aqaba
Aqaba’s original dive centre
Founded in 2002, Dive Aqaba is the mother of the diving industry in Aqaba. Many of our former students went on to build their own dive companies.
We dive every day of the year
Daily boat trips and shore diving all year round, holidays included.
Clean air, deep expertise
Top-quality air is the basis of our technical and deep diving, and our team has logged trimix dives beyond 100 m since 2007.
Our own boat and beach club
Laila 1 for daily trips, and a private beach club with dive sites that only Dive Aqaba can dive.
