Discover Scuba Diving

You begin under the supervision of our professional instructors. The programme has a thorough briefing, a skills session and a dive in open water. Your instructor explains the safety essentials, introduces you to the equipment and then takes you on a tour of Aqaba’s corals and marine life.

  • Knowledge development and a thorough briefing
  • A skill training session
  • A dive in open water

The experience can be counted toward the Open Water Diver course. If you are not sure about diving, this is the safest way to find out. Be warned: if you enjoy it, it will change your life.

Already tried diving?

If you have done a training dive before and want to skip the more detailed programme, ask for the shorter try dive with a dive master. The dive is shorter, includes full equipment rental and transport, and can also be done from the boat.

Good to know

  • Minimum age 10.
  • Complete a short medical questionnaire. A doctor’s sign-off is needed if any answer is yes.
  • No experience and no certification needed.
  • Equipment and transport to the dive site are included.
