Coral Garden Diving Center

Coral Garden Diving Center is a family-run, PADI 5 Star IDC facility in Aqaba, Jordan, where Jordanian hospitality meets the highest safety standards. With 8 PADI Instructors on hand and everything under one roof, it's a welcoming base for exploring the Red Sea's hidden gems — from first-timers to divers working toward professional level.

Courses and diving

The centre offers a huge selection of PADI courses and specialties across 21 courses and activities. You can progress through the PADI Advanced Open Water Diver, Rescue Diver, Wreck Diver, Deep Diver, Enriched Air Diver and Peak Performance Buoyancy courses, or simply join a Shore Dive from USD 50. Daily dives, snorkelling and boat trips round out the programme, and enriched air (Nitrox) is available.

Local dive sites include Power Station, First Bay North and South, the Underwater Military Museum, the TriStar Lockheed L1011 and the Japanese Gardens. Divers may encounter sharks, turtles, rays, eels, molluscs, corals and more. An onsite classroom, dive boat, retail shop and Mares Scubastore make it a well-equipped stop for divers to Aqaba.
