About New Canyon and Tank, Aqaba
New Canyon and Tank, Aqaba is a boat dive that starts at twin pinnacles and lets you choose a canyon line before crossing through blue water to finish at the Tank. The appeal is the route itself: coral-covered high points, a choice of depth on the canyon wall and a shallow final stop with reef fish and macro life. It suits divers who want a flexible Red Sea profile rather than a single fixed depth, but the best plan still depends on the boat, current and how much time you want on the return.
