September 2021 I spent 10 consecutive days diving with Sinai Divers Aqaba. The first week I stayed in a spacious cabin on the dive center's yacht, the Harmattan, moored in downtown Aqaba. Great accommodation close to restaurants and bars, and especially suitable for groups of divers who charter several cabins, as then the Harmattan can sail to the dive sites and return to port each day (live-aboard 'light').
Since I was the only guest on board, I made most of the dives on a smaller boat that departed from the Mövenpick jetty in Tala Bay, where the dive center is located. Transfer between Aqaba and Tala Bay was included. During the weekend, dive guests were transferred from the hotel to the Harmattan to do day dives to locations not easily accessible from the Mövenpick jetty. Nice variety of dive sites ranging from a drop-off wall (Power station) to coral gardens and multiple wreck sites, but not only ships, also planes, helicopters and tanks!
Very relaxed atmosphere in the dive center, well equipped, Nitrox available at an additional charge. All staff extremely friendly and helpful in solving small problems with my personal diving equipment, so I did not need any rental equipment! Thanks again, Raj, also for the private guided dive, see photos! Special thanks also to Abboud, for driving and guiding and for providing me with a driver for an excursion to Petra. Petra is definitely a must - go if you visit Jordan!
I really enjoyed my stay and look forward to returning to Aqaba for some relaxing SCUBA - diving with Sinai Divers!
