Why dive here
With 60+ marine species recorded in the area - including spinner dolphins and lionfish - Taiyong offers some of Aqaba Marine Park's richest wreck diving. Water ranges 22-29°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Taiyong wreck sits upright in Aqaba's Marine Park, a relatively shallow dive well-suited for open water divers. We've found the visibility here consistently good, making it easy to explore the crane and superstructure. Keep an eye out for lionfish tucked into crevices and the occasional turtle grazing nearby. It’s a solid, straightforward wreck dive for those looking to explore a piece of history without deep depths or strong currents.
