I just finished my Tec Deep Diver course with Huw, had a brilliant time. Huw is a very good instructor, and a really nice guy. The course was very demanding, but they gave me a lot of confidence, and made it fun too. Rod, the owner, is a very nice chap too, very helpful as is the rest of the... More

We had a "try-dive". It was very enjoyable. We saw lots of fish and coral. However, the wetsuit they gave me was horrible and did not fit. More

The team at Dive Aqaba is not only extremely professional, but when the dive's are over, they treat you like close friends or even family. After the morning dive, we were offered an afternoon at a beach resort for free while they trained a couple of newbies in the pool. The weekend I was there, the owner's birthday was being... More

Ash was both profesional and so friendly, insisted on giving my daughter and I a lift than letting us take cab. Hope all goes well on... More
