Aqaba Bedouin Dive

Set on the south beach 12km south of Aqaba, Aqaba Bedouin Dive is a PADI Resort operating right in front of the coral reefs of the Japanese Gardens — one of the best snorkelling and diving sites on the Red Sea. Rolling straight into the water here means the reef is quite literally on the doorstep, making this an easy base for divers and snorkellers alike.

Courses and diving

As a PADI Resort, the centre offers PADI scuba diving, so whether you're stepping into the sport for the first time or continuing your training, there's a structured path to follow. The friendly, helpful staff set a relaxed, unhurried tone that suits those who want to learn and explore at their own pace.

Part of the Bedouin Garden Village, which blends ancient and modern heritage in its own distinctive style, the centre pairs its front-row reef access with an atmosphere of rest and relaxation. It's a natural fit for travellers who want to leave the noise of the city behind and spend their days in the water.
