Dive, eat, dive
Two guided dives, with a buffet lunch cooked on board with a local twist, and soft drinks all day.
What is included
- Two guided dives with a dive guide
- Tanks and weights
- Transport to the boat or dive site
- Buffet lunch and soft drinks on board
- Harbour fees
Equipment is rented separately, see the price list. If you have your own gear, bring it.
Boat or shore
You can reach the same dive sites from the boat or from the beach. Our boat Laila 1 is a triple-decker yacht made for diving and snorkelling, and we also work with partner boats, which gives us more flexibility and choice. Prefer to stay on land? Join our shore diving programme, or head south to our dive club, which has a private beach and exclusive access to some of the best dive sites in Aqaba.
Before you come
- Bring proof of certification. If you hold a PADI certification we can check it online.
- If you have not dived in the past six months, a Pre-Dive Refresher is required.
- Not certified yet? Choose a first dive or an Open Water Diver course.
- Non-divers are welcome on the boat to snorkel or swim, see snorkelling trips.
Night dives
A night dive adds 25 JD per person to the normal diving charge. It includes the night dive permit, transport and a torch. If you dive at night after a day’s diving with us, you do not pay extra for equipment. Rainbow Reef is the most popular night dive on our coast, see the Rainbow Reef page for the rules.
Questions
Do you dive every day?
Yes. We operate every day of the year, including holidays and 29 February.
Can I pay by card?
We accept Visa, and cash in Jordanian dinars, US dollars, euros or pounds sterling. There are plenty of ATMs nearby.
What suit do I need?
The water is about 20 °C in winter, so a full 5 mm suit is fine, and about 28 °C in summer, when a 3 mm shorty is enough.
