Why you'll love diving in Jordan!

Jordan borders Saudi Arabia to the east and south-east, Iraq to the east, Syria to the north and West Bank and Israel to the west, sharing control of the Dead Sea. The territory of Jordan had been occupied by many civilizations before the creation of the modern state, that’s why it boasts a rich cultural heritage. Jordan's major tourist activities include numerous ancient places, its unique desert castles and unspoiled natural locations, to its cultural and religious sites. Visitors can explore the magnificent rock-hewn city of Petra, one of the New Seven Wonders of the World; Madaba, well known for its Byzantine mosaics; Roman temples and theaters, the River Jordan and one of the several nature reserves. Planet Dive Holidays specialize in tailor made holidays to Jordan to include a combination of the best sites arranged around a good selection of 4 and 5* luxury hotels.

Jordan also has some exceptional scuba diving accessed from the Red Sea resort of Aqaba in the northern Gulf of Aqaba. The diving from Aqaba offers easy and uncrowned dives with a good variety of sites from the famous wreck of the Cedar Pride to the drop off’s close to the Saudi border. A scuba diving holiday in Jordan is normally best combined with a tailor made tour of this culturally rich country.

Diving in Jordan is year round. Summer months July to September are hot while during the cooler winter months, January and February, you may experience an increase in winds.

Do ask your travel health expert (e.g. GP, practice nurse or travel clinic) to provide you with up to date information and vaccines to ensure your travels are safe and enjoyable.
