    Hamza runs a great business. The experience was stress free! The most convenient dives I've ever done due to the care they give their customers. The dive sites were beyond my wildest expectations. So beautiful. When I come back with my sister, I will be calling Petra Divers!!!

    We dived with Petra divers today, and had a very fun experience! We went to the Japanese Gardens and saw a tank and plane wreck. The dive master is very experienced and we felt very safe as first time divers. Highly recommended!

    Hamza is a great instructor, patient and good with first time divers. We saw lots of corals and marine life at the tank and plane wrecks, which are very suitable for beginners.

    It was my first dive experience and it was safe and fun. Especially with my initial fears of whether I will be able to do it, all that vanished as soon as I got into the water. Ricardo was very clear with instructions, made me feel comfortable, safe and I had a great time. I am sure I will be back for more dives with Petra diving centre

    Without any doubt best diving center in Aqaba! I had my first diving experience 5 years ago with Hamza and last year I came back again and completed my Open Water certification, Ricardo was my instructor this time. Both of them are exceptional 🙌🏾 ! They are flexible with your plans, all diving gear in top conditions, they are very patient when you need your time… they also take very nice pics and videos they share with you, so you have a nice memory! It was very nice to see, that they didn’t loose any little piece of quality in the service over the years. I’m sure I’ll be back!

    Very professional dive centre that tailored dives to our needs. They also took tons of pictures that they shared just after the dives. I highly recommend Petra Diving if you come to Aqaba.

    We stopped in to sign up for snorkeling and ended up doing scuba diving! We were both new to scuba but our instructor Hamza helped calm my wife when she wanted to stop and we both couldn't be happier that we continued. The coral reef was amazing, plus he sent us free pictures and video! Highly recommend, especially for beginners / noobs like us

    Excellent diving with Ricardo today, who's incredible friendly and always up for a joke. He was very flexible and accommodated the dive sites and dives according to our wishes and skills. We enjoyed it to the fullest and the reefs were just beautiful!

    We had an amazing experience with Petra Divers and our instructor Ricardo. He was really nice, funny and unbelievably patient. He was an awesome guide for our first scuba diving. Afterwards he even dropped us right at our hotel in the city centre. Highly recommend!

    Beautiful experience, a must do in Aqaba. The Petra Diving crew are really amazing you have to do the diving with Hamza, he does all the explications, take photos and videos. The price is really attractive.

    We did four fun dives from the shore with Ricardo. A funny guy, a great instructor and calm diver. Part of the equipment was brand new and the rest was well maintained. Ask to start early to be at the dive sites before the big groups arrive. We had a really good time, highly recommended!

    We went diving with Ricardo today. As a first time diver I was a bit panicky but Ricardo kept my nerves under control and ensured I was calm throughout. He kindly guided me throughout the whole thing and was very patient with me. He gave us a really good brief beforehand so we knew how to do everything and took some great pictures and videos! I definitely recommend!

    We repeated the experience 4 times as we had the best of times. Ricardo and Ahmad make the best team and give you lots of confidence if you have no experience in diving. Thanks a million!!!

    Hamza provided a great and fun experience! They made us all feel safe and showed us beautiful scenery below the water. I would definitely go diving with him again.

    Wonderful experience with Captain Ricardo. I’m a beginner and the explanations were clear and easy to follow. Ricardo is a funny and joyful person who made the experience less stressful. I definitely recommend this center. We also saw a beautiful turtle. Thank you again ✨

    I have just completed 3 shore dives with Petra Divers and it was amazing!! I had three private dives at the plane, the tank and the coral garden. Ricardo was a fanstastic guide, he is absolutely the best! Want to know the best part? We started early in the morning before all the other dive shops got here. We had the sites to ourselves. I loved it!

    I don't have the words! Truly it was a unique experience. It was the first time I was scuba diving, I was very scared. But Hamza knew how to reassure me, very pedagogue and very kind, attentive. And above all professional! It adapts to all levels. Thanks to him we had a wonderful time! Truly the best divine center. Go there with your eyes closed, you won't regret it!

    Had an excellent time. They met me right at the hotel, straight shot to the beach with all equiptment ready, quick ground class and I was in the water. I dove by myself without a group and it was a last second decision but they made it happen. From the time I made the call to the time I was in the water....less than an hour. Would highly recommend, the dive as the area is beautiful with a ton to see, the diver support is fantastic and the equiptment is awesome.

    It was a excellent experience, with license and without a really nice instructor Ricardo, he gave us a lot of security, we are really happy cause of that we will repeat with them tomorrow I recommend to everyone do it with them

    While visiting in Aqaba I went diving with Petra Divers. Hamsa was my instructor and guide. He was fantastic - patient, reassuring, thorough - with me a novice diver. I am already planning how I can go again with him. I highly recommend his services.

    First diving experience in the Red Sea which was amazing. The water is clear, there is a good visibility under the sea and the site is quite unique. You can see an airplane wreck and a tank wreck on top of the natural coral reef and the wildlife that comes with it. Would totally recommend!

    Thanks to Hamza and Ricardo for the great diving experience. Easy booking procedure and good communication via whatsapp. They prepared everything and the gear before, during and after the dive, so we could focus on the dive itself. As my girlfriend had a panic attack the last dive in the Caribbean, Ricardo really make her feeling comfortable again. Price was also good - 5 stars!

    The whole experience was great and well organized. Hamza is a wonderful guide who has a huge knowledge about the area and he is made the whole tour unforgettable. The equipment was accessible and in good condition. I really recommend them if you want a nice memory!

  • 5/5 Paul Urban S. 2 years ago on Google
    My girlfriend and I came to Aqaba to dive and found the Petra Diving Center to be the most qualified company for our dives. It turned out to be a great experience with professional divers at medium to low costs. We dove at a nice location at a sunken tank. There were many types of fish and corals to see. All in all it was a memorable adventure with hospitable people. Thank you guys!

    Excellent experience!! The owner Hamza is a very nice and welcoming person, explained everyting really well. It was my first time scuba diving and the instructor Ricardo was very pacient with me, he let me take my time to gain confidence to have the best experience possible. Ricardo took really nice photos and videos of us which will make great memories of this unforgetable experience.

    Highly recommend diving with Hamza when you’re visiting Aqaba! We had a fantastic time getting dives in at several wreck sites with them! The gear we rented was in great condition and everything went perfectly
