    Aqaba don't have as many fishes as the Egypt side of the Red sea but in Aqaba the coralls are excelent. The best divesites are south of Aqaba. There is a wreck, a tank, turtels, porkypine fishes, pufferfishes, christmastree worms, Uppside-down jellyfishes, Peppered Morays and much more.
    You can read about the differente divesites at:
    www.jordanjubilee.com/outdoors/reefs.htm#top%20of%20page (from Ruth's page).
    I dived with Seastar divingcenter wich is a very good divingcenter. They visit all divesites south of Aqaba and have good equipment.
    The divingcenter is lokated in Alcazar Hotel. They have also got the club Murjan where you can have lunch and stay by the pool between the dives.
    Price: I booked via internet and paid 290 JD for 7 nighets at Alcazar Hotel with 10 dives. Plus 60 JD for full Equipment hire.

    Equipment: You can rent the equipment at SeaStar divingcenter.

     I just saw this thing on the Travel Channel where the king took a reporter around the country. It was spectacular and seemed very safe for travel! Can't wait to go there some day.
