Dive Aqaba
PO BOX 1061
"Dive Aqaba is an owner-opererated PADI school soon to become a 5star outfit. They are friendly, excellent value for your hard earned money and what is nice to see, have the latest brand new kit. It was like diving with a family: didn't want to go home."
"Just had a 10 day visit to Jordan, initially staying in Aqaba for the diving. Went through Dive Aqaba who were absolutely wonderful. They made us very welcome, had wonderful humour, were extremely organised and their kit was first class. They took us to some fantastic diving sites and it was wonderful to not be at a site which was very crowded. I felt that the diving was far more superior at this part of the Red Sea than Egypt."
"Brilliant. Warm, friendly and thoroughly professional. Suzie is a great instructor. Could have not done it without her."
Diving with Yasmena diving and snorkelling boat, dive courses also available. PO BOX 398
"Yazan Alsaed is a very professional and nice person. Highly recomended."
"After 2 years diving regulary in Aqaba i tried almost every diving center in Aqaba. My absolute favorite is the Yasmena boat with the diving instructor Yazan Alsead and his crew. Its a perfect diving boat, exclusive and very personal, never crowded, no rush, good equipement, extremly friendly and helpful, very professional, good food and a perfect sundeck to relax after the dives. Nice and easy dive sites for beginners, but also ship wreck Cedar pride, a tank and steep cliffs. Prices are reasonable. We always have been there in groups of 3-4 people and had the boat just for us. Its still a little secret, so try it yourself!."
"I am a Jordanien diver since 2003. If you have not tried diving in Aqaba with Yasmena diving boat, you have not dived in Aqaba."
