Dive Sites

The Cedar Pride was originally built in 1964 by Shipping Aznar in a spanish shipyard. Years later the ship was in ballast at the port of Aqaba when a fire broke out in August 1982. It sustained extensive damage to her engine room and unfortunately two members of the crew were killed.

Just south of the Cedar Pride, the reef begins at 4mt and then gently slopes to 20+ mt  

This dive spot was named after King Abdullah II and it is an excellent dive spot, great for beginners due to the shallower reef rangin between 3 and 6 mt before decending to deeper spots and to being sheltered. This also means that King Abdullah Reef has very little to no current which might hinder the divers.

Although only a mere five meters below sea level, this site is appealing due its rarity. It’s not every day you get to see an old sunken American anti-aircraft tank! Surrounded by seven large pinnacles teeming with sea life, this site is home to scorpion fish, stone fish and beautiful pastel-coloured soft corals. The Seven Sisters and Fairy Ring are both considered to be of an interesting coral pinnacle typography and very worth seeing.
