The Gulf of Aqaba
The northern Red Sea combines year-round water, excellent visibility, accessible shore entries, coral gardens and memorable wreck sites.
Aqaba offers unusually accessible Red Sea freediving. Many sites are reached from shore, conditions are often calm and visibility commonly reaches 10–30 metres.
Coral reefs, warm water and wrecks such as Cedar Pride, the C-130 aircraft and the Underwater Military Museum create varied sessions for training and exploration. Site choice always follows weather, ability, certification and safety.

From shallow coral gardens to deeper wrecks and walls, Aqaba offers routes for different experience levels. The listed depths describe the wider site—not a target for every freediver.
A colourful coral garden with abundant reef fish and frequent turtle sightings. Its shallower areas are well suited to relaxed exploration and underwater photography.
Seven coral pinnacles surrounded by seagrass and small coral heads. The manageable depth and rich marine life make it a rewarding site for controlled, unhurried dives.
An M42 Duster anti-aircraft vehicle placed in shallow water as an artificial reef. It is compact, easy to view from the surface and popular for photography.
An 81-metre cargo ship resting on its port side across two reefs. The upper wreck can be viewed by trained freedivers, while deeper sections require suitable certification, conditions and supervision.
The remains of a Hercules aircraft form a distinctive artificial reef close to shore. Fish gather around the cockpit and wings, creating a memorable open-water route.
A formation of military vehicles, including tanks, an ambulance, anti-aircraft equipment and a helicopter. Routes must be selected carefully for the diver’s level and current sea conditions.
A large Lockheed L-1011 resting on a sandy seabed. Its scale is impressive from outside, but the depth makes it appropriate only for experienced, properly trained freedivers.
A dramatic reef edge with coral outcrops, soft corals and open-water views. Because the wall descends rapidly, disciplined depth control and an experienced safety team are essential.
Safety before depth
Every session is planned around weather, visibility, boat traffic, recent experience and the diver’s certification. Freedivers never dive alone, and we do not promote entry into wrecks or other overhead environments. Some attractions are viewed safely from outside and above.
