Plongée à Aqaba — Jordan
Aqaba packs Red Sea quality diving into an accessible shore-dive format. The sunken tank and Cedar Pride wreck are photogenic favorites, while the Japanese Garden coral site rivals anything in Egypt. It's the most convenient Red Sea diving — walk in from shore and you're on healthy reef in minutes, with Petra just 2 hours away.
