She'Ab Alkabir (الشعب الكبير(

Shayb Al Kabir, also known as She'ab Alkabir, is a coastal dive site near Jeddah on the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast. The site features a gently sloping sandy and rubble bottom with patches of seagrass, octocoral colonies, and occasional small reef structures close to shore. It is commonly visited by local dive centers for beginner and intermediate training due to its calm conditions and accessible entry from the beach or a short boat hop. Expect visibility to vary with weather and seasonal plankton blooms; currents are typically mild but can increase with tides. Marine life includes common Red Sea species such as parrotfish, snappers, angelfish, groupers, moray eels, and occasional reef-associated sharks in deeper, more open areas. The site offers straightforward navigation and a relaxed ethos for dives around 6–20 meters, with opportunities to explore shallow ledges and sandy plains.
