    • Be careful if you are planning to move on to Petra or Wadi Rum at the end of a day's diving. To get to Petra you have to go over 1500 meters over sea level, and Wadi Rum is about 1000. Similarly, if you're heading towards the Dead Sea, the rise in altitude is something of the same order. It can be dangerous to dive and then travel to such altitudes within the same day. It is equally unsafe to dive within 12 hours of travelling down from these heights.

    The same thing applies if you are flying out. You must tell your dive centre your plans and they will take you to a suitable dive site.

     You have great Jordan pages. I'm trying to figure out if I should put Aqaba as the first stop on an upcoming 5 day trip to Jordan. I'm thinking no, regretfully.
