Hello Asser,
I will be in Aqaba the end of Oct and might stay at the Coral Bay Inn. What do you think of the dive resort? Any other place you like? I've heard that Dahab is nice. How long does it take to get there and what are the taxes? Thanks, Christina
If you mean Aqaba in Jordan then, as far as I know, it offers OK diving but not to be compared with Sinai (Dahab and Sharm). I don't have info about the Coral Bay Inn in particular.
Yes Dahab is very nice. To reach Dahab you'll have to either cross the borders at Taba and have like a 200 KM taxi/bus ride, or take the ferry directly from Aqaba to Nuweiba and have only 60 KM taxi ride down to Dahab.
Christina, take a look at the thread on this site (ScubaBoard) about Nuweiba that I started a few months ago, called "Isn't Nuweiba very under-rated for diving experience and value?" I think that there's a ferry you can take from Aqaba directly to Nuweiba. It's not as far as Dahab, is cheaper, and is a great diving spot.
