Read MoreA great way to experience Aqaba is to spend several days diving with Deep Blue and then ending your time on land at historical Petra and magical Wadi Rum. Both these attractions are 1-2 hours away from Aqaba. Instead of paying entrance fees for these sites, sign up for the Jordan Pass and get your visa and entrance fees for a great price. We recommend the Jordan Wanderer if you plan on spending 1 day at each attraction.
Sometimes it takes a different perspective to make you appreciate an old favorite. The Cedar Pride Wreck here in Aqaba has been in the water since 1985. This black and white photo makes it really look like the 🛳 wreck it is! 😮

Two Al-Khalid tanks at the Military museum of Aqaba.
The Underwater Military Museum is a truly unique artificial reef, and the military vehicles are perfect as a back drop for photographers.

Have you see the Red Sea angelfish yet? Such a beautiful fish! Angelfish are active during the day. They like to roam around our coral reefs and rocky areas that have enough caves, holes and crevices to find shelter. They are shy, but if you slow down or stop to view them, they will often come by to check you out. 😃

Our house jetty is a haven for all kinds of marine life. This yellowmouth eel was poking his head around the corals under the jetty looking for a snack when our photographer found him. Fun fact – the yellow color of their mouths is a warning coloration that this species is actually poisonous since it has toxic mucus in its skin. Look, but don't touch! ⚠

Amazing shot by Alex Dawson at the Underwater Military Museum when he was diving with us. He's a superb photographer and the museum is an amazing place to dive with 19 pieces of military equipment that include 2 Cobra 🚁 helicopters, 5 tanks, and others. If you're a history buff or a wreck lover, then you need to check this out! 👀

Turtle Thursday! We love turtles! This huge green sea turtle visits our house reef during the winter months when the grass and sweet and tasty. When was the last time you dived with a turtle? There are plenty here in Aqaba--especially hawksbill turtles. Nearly all species of sea turtle are classified as Endangered. Slaughtered for their eggs, meat, skin, and shells, sea turtles suffer from poaching and over-exploitation. They also face habitat destruction and accidental capture in fishing gear. Climate change has an impact on turtle nesting sites. Let's protect what we love!

Sunday Funday! No better way to spend a Sunday than to jump in the amazing Red Sea here in Aqaba‼ Don't dive? Then do a Try Dive or snorkel. Either way, we got you covered for a great day of fun. Join us on the boat for 4 hours and have a great time snorkeling or diving--or both! And then enjoy a delicious all you can eat lunch. Yummy 😉🍖.

Strange fish Saturday. Do you know what this is? It's a Red Sea Walkman, also know as Walkman Scorpionfish. Yes, it is venomous. They are ambush predators and spend most of their time sitting on the bottom of the sand. When a diver approaches them usually they sit completely immobile, if they start to feel threatened they will raise their dorsal fins and if that does not work they will unfurl their bright orange/yellow pectoral fins. If that does not do the trick they will usually try and crawl off using their pectoral fins, which resemble claws. Strange fish, don't you think❓

Since 1973 Jordan has not been involved in any war. Maybe that’s why there are so many tanks underwater here🤣! Jordan is extremely stable and safe and a great place for divers. The Red Sea coastline is filled with enough natural and artificial reefs to keep divers 🤿busy for days 🙂.

You can appreciate how large the Lockheed Martin L1011 passenger plane is when you see divers near it. 😲 It’s a huge 400 seater plane sitting at a depth of 15 - 28 meters.
