5.00I recently took my first diving lessons with Youssef and Abdulla at Arab Divers in Aqaba, and the experience was fantastic! Youssef and Abdulla are not only highly knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and supportive. They made sure I felt comfortabl. The lessons were well-structured, and they explained everything clearly, from the basics of diving to safety procedures.The dive locations were breathtaking, featuring a rich underwater world filled with colorful fish and coral reefs. The team ensured that we were safe and comfortable during each dive.I highly recommend Arab Divers to anyone looking to start diving. Thanks to Youssef and Abdulla, I not only learned new skills but also had an unforgettable experience!

4.00Very good diveshop. Yussef our dive master was looking after everyone. The equipment given was good as well. The staff is friendly, professional, no fluff and the dive sites are good. My wife did snorkel and she pretty much saw what divers saw so overall a good experience. One suggestion: we were told the dive starts at 9am so we arrived at 8:30am. Eventually the dive started at 10:30am. It was worth the wait though.
First time diving - Good value

4.00Me and my husband tried scubadiving for the first time here. Prices are very budget like, very affordable I mean. Our instructor was very patient, professional and we felt safe. Even though as first time divers we were a bit afraid. The reef is nice, we dived in Rainbow reef, it is almost a surprise there is reef here, considering the amount of rubbish all over the place (beaches covered in cigarette buds, all sorts of plastic, glass etc.). The resort is simple, yet quite clean compared to other places we stayed throughout Jordan. It even has a fridge and a kettle. Shower had hot/warm water, also not what every other hotel offers... Internet connection is dodgy, but that appears to be the norm all over Jordan.
A dive to remember !

5.00This experience could be described just by one word. It was AWESOME! Obada responded to all of our questions on an ASAP basis, he was kind and made our experience flawless. But most of our gratitude heads rowars our instructor Mick, who was so professional and basic intro to the diving was also funny since he had a lot of jokes how to do the stuff properly. He also shared his experience from his travels with us. Just go with them, they are awesome. We had also a lot of luck and saw a turtle, lot of lion fish and plenty of other fish.
Amazing experience !
