Not so long ago returned from Aqaba, revised reviews, practically nothing is said about Diving, and after all, the Akab's Bay is a great place, the truth is poorly advertised, unlike the neighboring Egypt, for lovers of scuba diving. Because of the lack of mass tourism and a special geographical location, this part of the Red Sea simply sisces with animals and a variety of forms and colors.
Under water, there are a lot of large creatures, for example, the octopuses adored by me, for some reason, they are much smaller from the Eilat, as they dived in Israel, saw only one, and here on every dive. Very many turtles, these incomplete animals on land are striking with their grace in the water. In total, there are more than 160 types of corals in the Akab's Bay of the Red Sea, there are unique species. Diving in Jordan coastal mainly can be saved on the boat, but it is just that ride because The best dive sites exactly along the coast. For us, it was a plus as the event itself no more than 2 hours did not occupy the opportunity to go to other excursions and just nursing to the sea. Yes, and Datvora did not teach the ship. The plot of dive is flexible from 10 am every two hours.
Diving in Jordan is possible and on sunken ships, the most famous Cedar Pride (cedar pride), it was flooded specifically for creating an artificial reef, 74 meters long, a huge house for all living under water. A total of 23 routes allowed for dives, but unlike neighboring Eilat, take the cylinders and cargo on the rental itself. Any diver is obliged to accompany a specially accredited guide or an instructor.
Russian-speaking club one - diving club "Nautilus" and although I am a certified swimmer, still love to communicate in one language with the instructor, what to talk about newcomers. Just the ultimate carelessness to try to understand the briefing on broken English, if you yourself do not thoroughly understand the technical terms and the specifics of swimming under water. A pleasant bonus turned out to be a photo and video underwater filmed us for free. Organization of underwater excursion is simple. We lived right there on the territory of Diving Club, in the cute family hotel Southern Star Club.
From other hotels, takes a bead, takes into the diving club, there is filling the papers, instruction, collection of equipment and then determine the place of immersion and the path. All routes are not far from each other, do not ride a lot. After immersing back to the club, there are treating special local regenerating tea or coffee and dismay the hotel. How much does diving on the Red Sea? We were pleasantly surprised by one of the cheapest events. Here on the site already wrote a lot about the cost of other excursions, I will not repeat. Prices from 55 dollars per person.
