Al Awjam is a coastal town in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia. It lies along the Persian Gulf, and with limited local dive infrastructure nearby, it is not a major diving hub. The closest diving activity would be organized by nearby regional centers or on longer trips to more established gulf dive sites. The area is more notable for its coastal environment and general access to the gulf than for on-site diving options.
