We were a group of 24 people from Poland on dives. Everything has been at an excellent level since the organization. On-site logistics and the entire organization of diving deserves a six with a plus. Obadah perfectly manages the entire base.
We recommend diving with Arab Divers from all the heart and this is the opinion of the whole group.
We will definitely return to Jordan and we will definitely dive with Arab Divers.
Thank you

Dear Marek, Thank you for giving us this proverbial pat on the back, you made our day! We take pride in giving outstanding service to every diver and we're overjoyed to receive your compliments and appreciation. Being a small company, most of our divers are referred to us by regular guests and that's what makes you the star. All our efforts and organization wouldn't have worked without the enthusiasm of your entire group. Your kindness and understanding made rearrangements and changes of the program possible and together we were able to follow the program despite the storm during your stay. We are looking forward to see you soon all back and thanks again from the Arab Divers team.

My brother and I only had one day in Aqaba, and we wanted to do as much as possible in terms of diving. We decided to go with Arab Divers, and I am so glad that we did for many reasons. For starters, they were really clear and helpful (and responsive) over e-mail while we were planning our trip weeks in advance. They allowed us to do THREE dives in ONE day for, at least in my opinion, a VERY fair price. They also provided us with all the necessary equipment, transportation to each dive site, and much support in refreshing our diving skills (it had been a while since our last dive). The divers are all very friendly and helpful, and I have absolutely no complaints about our experience with them... 5 star day!

Khaled, 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!

Dear KK, Thanks for taking the time and effort to leave such a great review. We strive continuously to deliver the best service possible, and we’re glad it showed during your visit. Khaled, Omar and Captain Mahmoud were really happy to read your review. The water temperature is a 21 degrees Celsius during winter; we recommend wetsuits for snorkeling to spend more time at our beautiful coral reefs. Thank you and we hope to see you back at Arab Divers for some dives!

I was recommended this place by a friend who had done his Open Water here. I then did two trial dives with instructor Mohammed, one at Japanese Garden and one at Rainbow Reef.
Arab Divers and Mohammed are really fantastic. Super friendly and fun staff who clearly know what they are doing when it comes to diving. Modern and disinfected equipment, smooth operation, I always felt very safe.
I will 100% be back very soon to do my Open Water License with Arab Divers.
Thank you for the great experience!

After 20 years of not diving and a failed attempt at the Great Barrier Reef 2 years ago, I was concerned that I will not be able to do the dive in Aqaba. We contacted Arab Divers and they were super helpful and accommodating, suggesting I try to do the dive, else I would be refunded the money, so I felt encouraged to give it a go.
Once we reached the dive shop, we were welcomed warmly and assigned dive instructor Hani, because he was the “most patient” instructor. From the first minute I felt so comfortable and looked after, and with Hani’s excellent skills and gentle approach, successfully managed to perform my dive. I was over the moon! We went 10m deep and saw lots of fish and beautiful colorful coral reefs. Alf shukran to Hani for making me dive again, and to the whole Arab divers team for making us feel so welcome. The shop and crew has a great chilled vibe and very reasonable prices. If you are in Aqaba, don’t look further- go to Arab divers and have a great time! We will be back for sure!

Dear Marlen, We agree with you! Our Hani is most patient and sure an asset to our dedicated team. We are also glad that you tried despite your previous experience to give it another chance and voila, it worked perfectly out. Thank you for diving at Arab Divers and for leaving such a lovely review, it made Hani's day! Have a great day and we are looking forward to your next dive soon ;-)

We only stayed at Arab Divers to allow my husband to dive. I’ve never done any diving and am not confident in the water but was persuaded by the receptionist to do a try-dive. It was truly one of the best days of my life! Omar was my instructor and he was very professional, patient, kind and funny - he needed to be as I’m old enough to be his grandmother and very nervous. He may be only 21 but he has ‘an old head on young shoulders’ and gave me the confidence to do not one but two dives! My husband had Hani who was equally professional and friendly. Equipment was good. The whole set up was relaxed and informal but professional. The other bonus of having Omar as an instructor is that he takes his underwater camera so I now have an assortment of photos to remember the day by. I’ve already recommended them to three other groups of travellers that we’ve met since being in Jordan. Thank you Arab Divers.

Dear Fifi, Thank you so much for taking the time to provide feedback. Seeing that you had a 5-Star experience is the best thing we could hope for! Your review means a lot to us, you were so brave to overcome your fear and concerns. It's not surprising that Omar took such wonderful care of you and made you feel so confident. He and Hani are important members of our team. Thank you for choosing Arab Divers and we really hope you will come back for an Open Water Course.

A great experience. We were a group of 3 friends of which 1 doesn’t swim at all. Mohammed was very professional, understanding and great in handling every single detail, which led to a truly amazing experience. The session included the required training, and diving for around 30 minutes. I strongly recommend.

The most wonderful first diving experience possible! Especially in the company of the unrealistically charismatic Mick, who made this trip times more interesting and exciting. Will definitely come back here again to try my hand at deeper places. Thank you!

Arab Divers: Professionals, hard workers and efficient staff.

I can't thank them enough for these 6 dives that I have enjoyed in Aqaba. They have accomodated every dive to the circustances and personal requests.

They are very efficient answering emails and messages. Always with a kind word and a big smile.

I have made great memories in Jordan; Now, I am looking forward to come back and log more dives with Arab divers.

Arab divers: Profesionales, trabajadores y eficientes.

No puedo agradacerles lo suficiente por estos 6 buceos que he disfrutado en Aqaba. Pudieron acomodar cada buceo a las circustancias y a mi preferencias personales.

Son muy eficientes contestando a los emails y mensajes. Siempre con una una palabra amable y una gran sonrisa.

He creado grandes memorias en Jordania; Ahora solo falta volver con Arab divers para loggear mas inmersiones.

This was my 1st trip to Jordan and 1st dive there in my life. We came in a large group of divers, around 25 people, most of them experienced, therefore we were looking for an experienced and professional diving center to dive with. We decided to go with Arab Divers. Everything from the beginning was just great, diving center, organization, gear, dive guides, we enjoyed every single dive with them. I dived the most with Omar, who is a very friendly and patience diver, allowing to dive along him on your own, without many restrictions, so you feel very comfortable under the water. He showed us a lot of great locations, each dive was fun and safe. I truly recommend Omar and Arab Diver to dive with when you visit Jordan. Thank you and definitely I'll see you again.
