Youssef and Abdulla are great instructors
I 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!

Good team, friendly staff.
Very 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
Me 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.

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners cost?
+
Prices start at $50 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Aqaba usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Aqaba is not rushed.
Is Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 61 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners?
+
Around 21 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Aqaba can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Aqaba and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discover the coral reef in aqaba scuba experience for beginners start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Aqaba within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Aqaba?
+
On Outty we rank every Aqaba experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 4x4 Full-Day Desert Tour, Wadi Rum Full Day Jeep Tour + Overnight & Dinner in Bedouin Camp, Diving, Snorkeling & Leisure Cruises by Boat. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Aqaba?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Aqaba?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
