This was a superb experience. Hind was great at communicating the process and the requirements. We felt safe throughout the whole process. Mohannad was our instructor. At one point my partner panicked in the water and Mohannad was great at calming him and didn’t let it disrupt our dive. I would recommend discussing your expectations on the time split between enjoying the dive and posing for photographs prior to the dive. We did not want many pictures and Mohannad spent time showing us things with minimum time on photos. However, the photos itself turned out GREAT! We had a great time in the water, so much so, that while Mohannad claims it was 45 minutes it felt like a much much shorter time!

The dive center is very good and price are very reasonable. Instructors are very friendly and give proper clear instruction and they make sure everyone has understood. He gave reasonable time to acclimatize in water and then took us down had shown beautiful corals, fishes and tank wrecks. He also took nice pics on my way.I would highly recommend the dive center who are visiting Aqaba for first time or for certification.All are professional well trained.

The best diving experience you will have in Aqaba.
Cabtin Mosa, Mohanad and Ahmad are the best, we spent enough time in shallow water to master diving skills with their patience you will dive even If you fear water.
Equipments are clean with deferent sizes.
We dive with 14 years old boy and he had great fun and experience.
You will not regret diving with that center.

I had a fantastic Scuba Discovery session with Tariq and Ahmed—both outstanding instructors. They were polite, professional, and spoke great English, making the experience smooth and enjoyable.
Meeting up with the instructors was easy; we connected at their van on South Beach near site No. 5. They sent me the location via WhatsApp with Google Maps, which made finding them hassle-free.
It was my 10-year-old’s first time scuba diving, and they ensured he was well taken care of. Ahmed provided 1:1 guidance throughout the session, making it a safe and memorable experience for him.
The entire experience was incredibly enjoyable, with very reasonable pricing. They triple-checked all the equipment to ensure everything was in perfect condition, giving us peace of mind.
Later that evening, they sent us a link to download all the pictures from our dive—a lovely touch, and it was all included in the price. Payment was straightforward and could be made via card directly at the van, which was super convenient.
All the equipment was provided, and you could choose between a half or full scuba suit. My tip would be to opt for a full suit, especially if you plan to take photos on the seabed. It helps prevent any cuts or scratches on your knees.
Overall, this was a wonderful experience, and I highly recommend it for anyone wanting to try scuba diving for the first time!

Aqaba Leaders were super friendly and taught my partner, Max, how to dive for the first time with ease. We saw a tank wreck and lots of cool fish, like puffa fish, trigger fish and nemos. I felt their team went above and beyond to make us feel welcome, including a pick-up/drop off service. I’d highly recommend!

Highly recommended! We had a personal instructor each for the entire duration of the dive. We started off getting into the diving suit and were given detailed instructions and a demonstration on how to use the diving equipment effectively. We explored some amazing coral, a tank and swam back to the shore. The divers were very respectful and knowledgeable and we both felt very safe with them. The techniques on using the diving equipment was amazing and really showed that the instructors knew what they were doing. The instructor that we had told us he had over 10 years experience diving and it showed! Highly recommended - you will not be disappointed, I'm so glad that I booked with them and not another company.

The staff:
These guys are absolutely the best. At the time of writing this review their lowest rating is 4/5. That should tell you everything you need to know. We are absolute beginners for scuba diving with one of us being a beginner at swimming. They made us feel safe and calm the entire time. The experience is done at your own pace, so you never feel panicked underwater. They resolve any issue you may have. Their communication is simply excellent. They are very professional, calm, and polite. Even days before our experience, we had questions, to which they replied clearly and promptly. During the experience, when putting on the suits and gear, they communicated everything we needed to know before going underwater perfectly. They brought us to shallow water we could stand up in so we could get used to breathing, keeping us calm. We had arrived 2.5h earlier than we thought we would and offered us to start the diving experience at the earlier time.
The experience:
Second to none. Honestly one of the best experiences I have ever made in my life. The beautiful coral, fish, the sunken anti-aircraft vehicle, the crystal clear water, the clean beaches. Phenomenal.
Overall:
If I could give these guys more than 5 stars, I would. I cannot recommend them enough. Absolutely amazing.

Look no further, you have found the best diving school in Aqaba! Yesterday we had a very nice diving introduction with our family, including our 3 children aged 15, 13 and 10 years old. Communication in advance was clear and fast, the diving equipment was in good order and they had more than enough different sizes so that everyone had the perfect equipment. Everything was explained clearly and calmly before we went into the sea. We had 4 dive masters with us so that all three children had their own instructor who kept a close eye on everything and helped them with everything. My wife and I have had our Padi diving license for a long time but enjoyed going with the children. The location was well chosen for a first introductory dive and step by step we went deeper and enjoyed all the beauty that the Red Sea has to offer. All in all a fantastic experience, very well organised, friendly instructors and clear and safe instruction. We enjoyed it, thanks!

Wat geweldig om te horen dat jullie een fantastische duikervaring hebben gehad! We zijn blij dat de communicatie vooraf duidelijk was en dat de uitrusting goed op orde was. Het is geweldig dat jullie kinderen elk een eigen instructeur hadden, en dat alles stap voor stap en veilig werd uitgelegd. Bedankt dat jullie hebben genoten van al het moois dat de Rode Zee te bieden heeft. We waarderen jullie vriendelijke woorden en kijken ernaar uit jullie weer te mogen v

Hi,
I have a PADI level 2, certified 11 years ago, and my last dive was in 2017. My wife does not have a PADI, but has dived 6 times in the last 10 years. My question is, can we do the usual activities provided by this programme (or would we have to do additional training)? Also, does this activity include scuba to the tank and plane?
Please let us know asap, as we plan to visit this Sunday.
Thanks,
Sasha
Written 2 September 2021
Me and my sister went there for the first time ever, and we only took training for ~15 minutes, so it shouldn't be a problem for you. And yes, it includes the Tank and the Plane (though not sure if you can go to both in the same dive, you'll have to check).
