exclusively for diver
great team, great boat, very considerate and quite attentive. quite involved in security. the only problem (our fault!!!) is that we were thinking of booking a boat trip at sea....and obviously seeing that it doesn't go further than 2 km from the port...it's special. Otherwise our son dived and saw a plane wreck, great fish and great decor. to do without hesitation...if you are ok to dive (even beginner)
Response from the operator: Aqaba Sharks Bay Divers Team Thank you and will be looking to see you again and dive with you again

Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Aqaba.
How much does Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive cost?
+
Prices start at $75 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 Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive 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 Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Aqaba, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive 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 Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive?
+
Around 4 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 Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive 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.

+

Does Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 161 listed pickup locations in and around Aqaba. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Shore Discover SCUBA Diving/Introductory Diving - One Dive offered in?
+
It is offered in Arabic, Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
