Saudi Arabia

'Asir Province

Asir Province is a highland region in southwestern Saudi Arabia with limited coastline along the Red Sea. The province itself is not a primary diving hub; diving data in this administrative area is sparse, and nearby coastal routes along the Saudi Red Sea coast serve divers with access to coral and rocky reefs. Expect shallow to moderate depths near access points along the coast, with typical arid climate and seasonal winds. Most diving activity comes from the Red Sea coast outside the province, where reef habitats, clear water, and marine life can be found in suitable sites. Within Asir, plan coastal trips to established Red Sea dive centers outside the province for best diving options.
