What to see in Jordan

The Red Sea has some of the best diving in the world. It is part of the Great Rift Valley, a trough running from Israel to south of the equator. This immense crack in the Earth's surface makes for an extremely deep sea, reaching nearly 3000 m.

With around 1000 species of fish and 150 species of coral, the Red Sea is rich in sea life. Water temperatures range from around 15°C in January, to around 29°C in September. The winds are often weakest during full moon.

Royal Diving Club Diving Centre

The Royal Diving Club is based at the Coral Bay Hotel, 18km out of Aqaba. It is possible to use this centre if staying at the major hotels in Aqaba.

This unique diving facility opened in 1990. The Royal Diving Club is an excellent training facility in a perfect position at the water's edge with a home reef right on its threshold. The Royal Diving Club is a purpose built complex with a private jetty, compressor room, equipment storage, lecture rooms, café, and large swimming pool with sunbathing area. You will be collected from your hotel each morning by the dive centre transport.

As well as the home reef area immediately in front of the Royal Diving Club, there is an extensive and prolific reef stretching along the coastline on either side. Dive sites can be accessed by boat or from the shore.

We recommend that you arrange your diving and snorkelling tours direct with your hotel once you have checked in.
