    Did 3 fun dives with Coral Garden today. What more can I see than an excellent and professional service from start to finish. I thoroughly enjoyed the dives and the expertise of the divemasters who accompanied us. They were amazing at spotting the marine life and actively removing trash during the dives. I'll leave some pictures and let them do the talking for me. Thank you to everyone at Coral Garden for a brilliant day.

    We just had the most amazing time with Coral Garden! We had a group where some did snorkeling and others diving and we all had a great experience with Mo, Ahmed and Saja. It was a fantastic morning and a great experience in Aqaba where you get more than what you are paying for, would definitely recommend!

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I recently had the pleasure of diving with the incredible team at Coral Garden, and I can't say enough about the exceptional experience I had. From start to finish, every aspect of my diving adventure was top-notch. The staff at Coral Garden is not only professional and highly skilled, but they are also incredibly passionate about what they do. Their enthusiasm for diving is contagious, and it instantly put me at ease, especially as a relatively new diver. They took the time to thoroughly explain everything, making sure I felt comfortable and confident in my abilities before we even entered the water. The equipment provided was in excellent condition, and safety was clearly a top priority. I felt well taken care of and knew that I was in good hands throughout the entire dive. The dive sites we visited were absolutely breathtaking. The crystal-clear waters and the vibrant marine life were beyond anything I had ever imagined. The guides at Coral Garden knew all the hidden gems of the underwater world, and I felt like I was exploring an untouched paradise. I cannot express enough gratitude for the experience I had with Coral Garden. This dive center truly goes above and beyond to make your diving adventure unforgettable. Whether you're a novice or an experienced diver, I highly recommend Coral Garden to anyone looking to explore the wonders of The Red Sea. I can't wait to return and dive with them again. Thank you, Coral Garden, for an incredible diving experience. You have earned every one of these 5 stars! Sincerely, [A Happy Diver]

    Great boat tour if you just want to snorkel but WONDERFUL if you want to scuba dive, instructors are extremely helpful and pacients. They took great care of us, respecting our times and being flexible with the location. Boat is big and clean, they came to pick us up in the hotel and drove us back. The food was really tasty and fresh. Overall a great experience 10/10 would recommend.

    I had the pleasure of diving with these guys twice and had a great experience. They were conveniently located and I could walk a short distance to from my Hostel. The equipment was superb and the staff and service were top notch! I've been on quote a few dives and the one thing that stood out were the excellent pictures they took... Great focus, resolution, colors.. and when I shared with my diving buddies they just said; WOW! So obviously I would highly recommend Coral Garden for your next diving adventure! Happy Diving!!!

    Excellent dive center with a brand new boat and world class equipment. Lovely people, very considerate and professional. Took us to some great dive sites and one of the best I've ever been on (tri star). The lunch on the boat is also so so so good I ditched shore dives and went back to the boat :D

    I found the Coral Diving Center via Google search. They were very responsive and informative compared to some other dive centers I had contacted. They have their own boat " Destiny" which is a lovely and very spacious boat. The crew was great. They prepared bbq everyday. The food was amazing. My sister and I had 5 days Diving from the boat. Our guide Saja was with us everyday. It was really good not change a guide. She got to know us and how we dive, and she customised our dives accordingly. Since our air consumption was very good we had longer dives. If I do one thing different that would be the following: The wreck Hercules is pretty far to go with the boat. I didn't know that. I would have opted for a shore dive one day. The suggested plan is to have a private guide and Nitrox. If you have good air consumption, go to Hercules and visit 4 sites at one go within 1.5. We didn't have an extra day for this. Then the rest of the famous sites can be covered with the boat.

    Amazing club, amazing people. Couldn’t think of anything to improve. The dive guides are awesome and really competent. I did 4 dives with this club and never been disappointed once.The trip was so organized. Keep it up guys. You’re doing great.

    We (a group of 13 divers) recently went diving in Aqaba with Coral Garden Diving Center and I can only recommend the experience. Everyone on and off the boat was extremely professional and super friendly. The boat was also like a 5 star hotel (including super tasty lunch with Jordanian food! 😁) It's hard to put 4 days into a few sentences but at the end of the trip we felt like we'd known the whole team for far longer. Our dive guides were Natalia and Sameer, both exceptional at their job, giving great and funny briefings, taking the measure of each of us as a diver in the span of two dives and leading us to explore the amazing underwater world of the Red Sea. We were also really happy to exchange music and dancing tips from each other on the boat 😁 With their great guidance we managed to see three turtles (in two separate dives), Napoleon fish, emperor angelfish and many more beautiful creatures, which Natalia kindly identified for us. Alex, the manager of the diving center and the store, was also with us on the boat and was always giving helpful tips and even assisting with our equipment when we needed it. He's super friendly and extremely knowledgeable, definitely ask him anything you're wondering about diving or the marine life if he happens to be nearby! The diving center itself is also very nicely designed and organized, with separated zones for shop and for renting equipment. Overall I'd say this is the best diving experience I've had and would recommend 1000%! P.S. Before we went there, my partner and I looked at the Google Maps reviews and were wondering how a place can have full 5 starts out of more than 800 reviews. Now we know ❤️

    We explored a shipwreck in Aqaba Bay with them. I didn’t expect to go that deep for the first time, but their level of expertise made me feel secure underwater. Thank you for this experience and the quality photos captured with GoPro. Absolutely 5-star service, kindness & care. Keep up this great work guys! 🙏 (our person was Mahmoud)

    Samir is the best :) We enjoyed a lot with him and all staff that is working in Coral Garden Diving Center. The boat is nice, the barbecue delicious and we had fun on the Red Sea. Great experience in Jordan that everybody has to do, we practice sacuba diving and snorkeling and was incredible. I recommend 100% this experience :)

  • 5/5 Russ H. 1 year ago on Google
    Professional and experienced crew, who was able to work around our busy schedule to make sure we experience amazing dives in the Red Sea before we leave. The whole trip was well organized from equipment to the boat ride, to delicious lunch. I definitely improved my diving skills and my wife is now very interested in getting SCUBA certified, after watching all of us dive and snorkeling herself. It was really a great day. And especial thanks to Natalia for being very knowledgeable and informative when it comes to diving.

    Today I had a really wonderful experience at Coral Garden Diving Center! From 10 to 3 we went on a really nice boat and I had two fantastic dives. Instructor William was really patient and kind for us. After the dives we got a really taste lunch on board of the boat. I really would recommend!

  • 5/5 王Wilda 1 year ago on Google
    It is amazing to have my first dive ever here! The coach is super friendly and experienced, we started from easy place and he kept checking every detail to make me feel safe. Once we dive down, I’m so impressed by the view, best experience ever in my life!!! Would love to visit again! Definitely recommend to everyone!

  • 5/5 Monika W. 1 year ago on Google
    Thanks to Coral Garden and our instructor William we had amazing time :). It was our first time diving ever, we decided to go for 2 dives from the boat and even without previous expereinces nor skills we felt save and relaxed. I can truly recomend it to everyone.

    We had our first shore dive ever with this company, and it was truly amazing! Without any experience and a bit anxious, we had one of the best experiences in our lives! The instructor (I forgot the name...sorry!) was very knowledgeable and passed us a lot of confidence. We wanted to give up after few minutes in the water but the patience and calming effect of the instructor convinced us to try one more time and it was the right choice! We had amazing dive with the coral and fishes all around us and we even managed to go as deep as 10mt to see a tank which was at the bottom.of the sea! I wish it could have lasted longer 🤪 Highly recommended!

    The crew was great, the boat was fantastic, the toilets on board were clean, the food was good, the dive sites were cool. However, I was given a Mares regulator and a Cressi BCD which were incompatible!! Pressing the deflate or inflate buttons would do nothing. When I pointed out the problem between my first and my second dive, I was told it was ok, I just had to hold the hose and the inflator tight together. I had to hold the hose of the regulator and the inflator of the BCD together with two hands for the BCD to inflate or deflate. This is absolutely unacceptable, and luckily I'm an experienced diver who can do well without using the BCD buoyancy. But a less experienced diver could have been in great danger if their BCD doesn't deflate when needed. I'm very disappointed by Coral Garden Diving Center for making such a compromise over the safety of their customers. UPDATE: Increased my rating from 1 to 2-star. The Diving Center reached out to apologize and offer a free dive. Too bad I'm already back in Europe.

    I cannot express my thanks to this wonderful dive centre enough. They were super professional & friendly and looked after all my needs. Transport, food, drinks, safety and enjoyment. All dives were amazing, but the standout favourite being the Aeroplane “Aircraft Tristar site”. Yes an aeroplane you can swim through! That was the highlight of my trip on par with Petra of course. Thanks for the amazing memories!

    Great diving center! We did two shore diving with Muhammad being our guide. Since we haven’t dived for one year, we started with a refreshment dive. Muhammad explained all the key knowledge to us and also we did a check dive under water for 15 min. Muhammad was very good and patient with us! We find the check dive extremely helpful! After that we continued with fun diving. Saw a lot of corals, reef, colourful fish and one wreck! Muhammad also took a lot of pictures for us! Wonderful experience and great service!

  • 5/5 James K. 1 year ago on Google
    Absolutely brilliant! My family and I booked a day snorkelling from the boat. The snorkelling was amazing, coral reef and tropical fish. Having watched the other group scuba diving, we decided to have a go ourselves. The crew were super stars, great fun and looked after us both above and below the water! The boat trip was about 5 hours in total on a large and comfortable boat and included a delicious barbecue lunch. Diving off the upper deck of the boat, seeing a puffer and lion fish - fabulous!

    Last minute booking for 3 boat dives with a friend- what an amazing experience diving with Coral Garden and our DM Jodie! Boat was great, immaculate equipment, great boat staff and delicious lunch. The team really bent over backwards to facilitate the best dives possible! Highly recommend and looking forward to diving again with Coral Garden.

    My husband and I had a wonderful day with Coral Garden Dive Company. Friendly service, very large boat, great lunch of chicken, beef, salad and soft drinks. My husband scuba dove to plane and coral. Both sites were very close to shore. I went snorkeling at both sites, colorful coral and a lot of fish. The boat ride itself is worth the money.

  • 5/5 Mark E. 2 years ago on Google
    Best diving experience we’ve had. They have a five star rating for a reason! Crew super friendly and helpful (thank you Jodie!) - everyone going the extra mile to make the trip super easy. Shout out to the chef too for a 5 star lunch 😃

  • 5/5 Hannah 2 years ago on Google
    We had an amazing experience snorkeling with our lovely guide Jodie. The equipment was well in condition and clean. Everything was organized perfectly for having just a wonderful day with a great team, food and snorkeling experience. I will definitely come back for diving with them!
