🇧🇭 Bahrain

Bahrain has scuba diving that’s mainly coastal, centered around the Persian Gulf and the Amwaj Islands area. Most dives are in saltwater with relatively warm temperatures for much of the year, but conditions can vary with wind and tides—expect moderate visibility at times and plenty of sheltered sites closer to shore. The region is better known for accessible recreational diving rather than remote “classic” reef destinations, so dive schedules often focus on local inshore points and boat dives suitable for a range of certifications. If you’re planning a longer trip, it’s also a convenient stop for divers who combine Gulf destinations.
