Technical Diving in Aqaba - Jordan
We are the only centre in Jordan offering technical diving, training including trimix and rebreathers

Our technical instructor trainers are Rod Abbotson and Everette Ingram, both have had technical specialty courses approved by PADI & DSAT. These divers will introduce you to a wealth of new and unexplored dive sites in Aqaba. The tec team has also been recognised by Project AWARE for looking after the deeper environment here in Jordan with clean up tec dives and surveys.
We would like to thank all the
technical divers who give up their time to help us keep the deeper depths clean. The Tec team has formed
Aqaba Diving Services A new commercial diving company specialising in
deep projects.
Rebreather diving needs 48 hours notice to obtain security permission.

We have several deep environmental projects running at the moment, removing old nets and fishing line from the deeper areas of the reefs, cleaning up trash that has drifted down to the depths and helping and advising on deep issues within the Aqaba Marine Park.


Philip Barawitzka set a new first for tec diving in Jordan by conducting a
Trimix CCR dive in Jordan on the Shorouk wreck.

After discovering the wreck of the
Taiyong in 2004 our tec team has intimate knowledge of this wreck and can take your there easily and safely. We have spent several years surveying this vessel and know the best way to dive it for your level of training - as well as knowing where it is!! We now have the new wreck of the
Al Shorouk to dive scuttled on 18th June 2008. Our team can conduct both recreational and tec dives with you on this new attraction in Aqaba.



We invite Mark Ellyatt to run courses on the Pelagian rebreather. The next courses are planned for 2010.

Now you can complete basic Rebreather training with us on a Dolphin Rebreather - this is good way to see if rebreathers are for you. Rod can also show how this semi closed unit can be a useful tool in technical decompression diving when you have finished the course.
