    Welcome to the Cedar Pride, the most famous dive site in Jordan for good reason, she is one of the rare wrecks easy accessible from shore. After a short, 130m swim over a sandy bottom, she looms out of the depths before us, imposing in an interesting position – lying intact on her port side with a separate reef supporting both bow and stern. The Cedar Pride is a recreational wreck diver’s dream. And don’t worry – you can enjoy this experience whatever your diving level, though you’ll need Advanced training or beyond to explore the deeper parts of the ship because the Cedar Pride’s bow sits around 20m and her stern at 16m. Of course, from shore we’ll come upon her keel first (she lays deck-to-sea, on her port side). Since she forms a massive bridge between reefs above the seafloor, we’ll take the swimthrough at 26m, the deepest point of the ship, and turn to explore her superstructure. Much of it was destroyed in a fire (see below), but what remains, including a lifeboat near the stern that usually has something interesting inside, is in remarkably good condition.

    Very nice spot. Ship can already been spotted from the surface. Just swim 100 meters outwards from the jetty slightly right. Can't miss it.

    Very nice beach in case you forgot your scuba equipment you can rent some there, just ask for Shisha(Raed). He will also guide you to the attractions in the water if needed. You can see here Japanese garden, the sunken ship. When we were there we did not see the ship as the water was not super clear and there was a big boat above it with tourists. But on a clear day and if you dive under a bit you can easily see. If you go down the shore there is also other attractions like the tank or seven sisters just ask the locals they will guide you.

👍 Well, I'm not a fan of this type of clubs but when you are a girl traveling alone and want some piece and privacy, it's definitely the place to be. The entrance is 13JOD, and you have a towel, shower, and changing room. The place is mostly under cameras, so you can either lock your stuff (1 or 2 j...

😠 Sad, sad, sad. Dead fish in the tanks, a lonesome seaturtle, a crocodile in a caged area 3x3 meters. Fish were dead in tanks and the tanks that did look good were too full. They should empty all the tanks back into the sea and close this place, this is not an aquarium, it's a place of torture for f...
