Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including spinner dolphins and lionfish - Oliver s Canyon offers some of Aqaba Marine Park's richest diving. Water ranges 22-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
Oliver's Canyon in Aqaba is a good spot for a relaxed dive, especially if you're looking to unwind after some of the park's busier sites. We've found the canyon itself to be a comfortable swim-through, with the chance to spot lionfish tucked into crevices and parrotfish grazing on the reef. It's not a site that screams "adventure", but it’s a solid option for divers who appreciate a calm, straightforward experience and don't mind a lack of big pelagics.
