Saudi Arabia

Jeddah

Jeddah is a major coastal city on the Red Sea in the Makkah Region of Saudi Arabia. It serves as a practical gateway for diving along the Saudi coast, with a number of dive centers offering courses, equipment rental, and day trips to nearby reefs and walls. Dive sites are generally accessible from shore or short boat rides; visibility and underwater conditions can vary seasonally. While the city itself is a commercial hub, the diving experience is tied to the Red Sea's marine life and coastal habitats within reach from Jeddah.
