AQABA PRO DIVERS

Four padi instructor-led dive packages anchor the offer at Aqaba Pro Divers, a dedicated dive centre on South Beach where the Gulf of Aqaba's coral reef begins metres from the entry point.

Ratings from 186 guests average 9.8 out of 10 — an unusually high score for a dive operation, suggesting guide quality and small group sizes drive the repeat bookings. Open-water and advanced courses run year-round; water temperature stays above 20°C even in January.

South Beach sits at Aqaba's quieter southern end, away from the port traffic, with the Saudi border crossing roughly 8km further south. The city centre and its bus connections to Wadi Rum and Petra are a short taxi ride north.
