Japanese Garden
One of the best-known reefs on the Jordanian coast — coral garden in the shallows and a drop-off that takes you into deeper water. A common destination for guided line sessions.
Site Guide
Freediving Sites in Aqaba
Aqaba's coastline is short but unusually varied — fringing reefs, vertical walls, and purpose-sunk wrecks, most of them within a few minutes of Tala Bay. Site choice on any day depends on conditions and on what your session needs.
Cedar Pride Wreck
A purpose-sunk Lebanese cargo ship lying on its side, with the top of the wreck in recreational depths and the hull descending deeper. A favourite open-water session for certified freedivers.
Power Station
A wall-style site with quick access to depth — useful for training when conditions on more exposed sites aren't ideal.
Tala Bay House Reef
Sheltered reef directly off our training base. Ideal for AIDA 1 introductions and for early sessions of AIDA 2 before moving to open-water lines.
How we choose a site
Wind, swell, visibility, and the day of your course all play in. The aim is always a site that gives the right working depth with the safest entry — depth depending on student readiness and safety. Several Aqaba sites lie within the Aqaba Marine Park; access and conduct rules are observed on every dive.
