Al Mahooz

Al Mahooz is a district in Bahrain’s Capital Governorate near Manama. The area itself is urban and not a primary diving destination. Bahrain offers access to shallow, sheltered gulf waters with shore dives and simple reef edge sites, mostly along the coast near the capital. With only one local dive center and no notable nearby dive sites within easy reach of Al Mahooz, diving in the immediate area is limited to basic training and local shore access. Divers visiting Bahrain typically base themselves in Manama for day trips to nearby sites across the Persian Gulf.
