Diving in Jordan

For divers, Jordan’s southernmost tip, where the Red Sea’s tropical waters bathe some of the most amazing coral reefs in the earth, has to be the main attraction. The variety of dive sites available in Jordan will astonish many. Seven Sisters and the Tank is one of the more famous dives. Japanese Gardens is a stunning reef dive that everyone can enjoy. The wreck of Cedar Pride, a Lebanese cargo ship sunk in 1985, gives divers the opportunity to interact with feather tail stingrays and pygmy slug nudibranchs. Whatever your reason for visiting Jordan is, diving in the Red Sea will be one of your favorite experiences.
