I spent 3 nights here at the end of a work trip to Jordan and it was the perfect spot to relax. Omar (the original owner's son) was very helpful and communicative in regards to booking accommodation and diving. I did 4 dives over 2 days and the guides were all excellent. There were divers from a range of abilities (those doing "try dives" and those with open water and advanced certifications) and everyone had their own guide to do dives according to their abilities. Omar took his camera on one of our dives and shared his amazing photos with me. I hired all equipment and it was excellent quality. The fish life, coral, and artificial reefs are all stunning- it's possibly the most beautiful place I've ever dived in the world! The on-site staff are lovely and welcoming. The hotel is very peaceful, well off the beaten track, and feels a world away from the bustle of Aqaba city, though a taxi is only 6 JD. The beach is a few minutes walk from the hotel. Omar's dad started this as one of the first (maybe *the* first?) dive centre in Aqaba- though there's a lot of competition now, I would only return to this centre for their care and professionalism. I traveled there as a single woman and felt completely safe, secure and well looked after. Fellow divers staying in the hotel were very friendly, so there was plenty of socialising by the pool when wanted. WiFi was good by the pool, but only got it sometimes in my room. No alcohol on site, but guests can bring their own from local stores.
