The treasure of Aqaba Reef

We loved our new daily routine: waking up early, eating breakfast, waiting for Nabeel to pick us up, taking us to the best Arabic coffee and falafel place in town and then diving.

No matter how early we came to the center, Graham was always there, waiting dressed in his wet suit.




The first dive after the AOWD we did in the Cable Valley. Again, we prepared our equipment and put it in the truck. By now the truck got his own name - The Divemobil. It was quite an adventure driving around with the Divemobil. One day, the transmission didn´t work, the next day the battery was low, then it didn´t start at all and we had to push it...


The dive in the Cable Valley was also a deep dive. We reached the depth of 32 m that day and there we saw a 1,25 m long beautiful napoleon fish just swimming around.

Next dive was in the Japanese garden, which was full of sea life. It was a shallow dive - up to 8 m. We saw sea worm, red frog fish, blow fish, porcupine fish, shrimp, lion fish and buffer fish.

As we came out of the water, the driver was already waiting for us. There he took a picture of us, which can sum up our vacation.


On the last day of our diving we went to Tarmac 5. There was another wreck - barch, where we saw a four color chromodoris. Our maximum depth that we reached on this dive was 27 m.


The last dive we did in King Abdullah Reef. We saw a lot of Red Sea banner, which is very typical for this area. We also saw gray moray and spotted eagle ray.





After our last dive it was time to say goodbye to Graham. We had a lot of fun with him and we know, we always say this, but he was the best instructor we ever had.


Greetings from Aqaba,

Jerneja & Boris
