Snorkeling in Aqaba with Arab Divers
Aqaba’s coastlines are a playground for snorkelers and freedivers, with thriving reefs and even some large shipwrecks all along their lengths. Aqaba is famous for its close-to-shore corals, and most sites are easily accessible right from the beach.

Testimonials about – Snorkeling in Aqaba, Jordan
Great customer serviceKhaled, Omar and our captain (Can’t recall his name) were great. We enjoyed our 6 hour snorkeling boat trip. Water was cold but they provided all gear, wetsuits, and a delicious lunch. We were lucky and it ended up to be a private tour since it is off season. We only snorkeled but as a diver I wouldn’t hesitate to use them – they were super attentive and aware during the snorkeling. Great experience. Thanks!
Fantastic snorkel trip at Power StationGreat trip today. They organized exactly what we asked for - a 4 hour snorkel trip. The snorkeling was easy and awesome. Lots of fish and water really clean. No rubbish in the water like a lot in Thailand. Great friendly staff. Than you everyone. Highly recommend.
