Tala Bay

Tala Bay is a coastal resort area near Aqaba on the Gulf of Aqaba (Jordan’s Red Sea side). It’s mainly a gateway for scuba trips to nearby Red Sea dive sites, typically reached by short boat rides rather than long transfers. Most diving here is in salt water with reef habitats, local reef fish, and the clearer, warmer conditions you’d expect on the Gulf side, with visibility varying by wind and season. If you’re planning a course or guided dives, you’ll usually do it through local operators based in Aqaba and the Tala Bay area, with options for beginner and certified divers.
