Insiders' Tips
On Fridays and Saturdays, the majority of dive shops and resorts near Obhur Creek and Bayada Island are packed, which can cause sand to be stirred up and visibility to be diminished. You'll have more room on the boat and receive greater attention from dive experts during weekday mornings, in addition to the cleaner seas and calmer currents.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be certified to dive in Jeddah?
Not always. Many centers offer Discover Scuba Diving experiences for beginners with no certification. If you want to dive deeper or multiple times, a PADI/SSI Open Water certification is recommended.
What is the minimum age to try scuba diving?
Most dive centers accept children 10 years and above for beginner programs (some allow from 8 years in confined water). Certified junior programs are also available.
How much does scuba diving in Jeddah cost?
Introductory dives cost around 300–600 SAR per person including equipment. Certified divers can book trips for ~350–500 SAR per dive. Packages (multi-day with accommodation) may range from 1,500–3,000 SAR.
What are the best dive spots near Jeddah?
Bayada Island (nicknamed the Maldives of Saudi Arabia) – perfect for beginners.
Cable Wreck & Chicken Wreck – famous shipwreck sites.
Ann Ann Wreck – for experienced divers.
Jabal Al-Lith – whale shark hotspot in spring.
What is the best season for diving?
Spring (March–May) and Autumn (September–November) offer the best visibility and water temperature (22–28°C). Summer dives are possible but can be very hot on the surface.
Can I snorkel instead of scuba diving?
Yes! Almost all dive operators also arrange snorkeling trips to coral reefs and islands, which is a good option for families and non-divers.
Do dive packages include equipment?
Most beginner packages include full gear (mask, fins, wetsuit, regulator, BCD, tank). Certified divers can bring their own or rent at the shop.
Is it safe to dive in Jeddah?
Yes, if you dive with licensed operators. The Red Sea has calm waters, but always follow safety briefings, never dive alone, and consider travel/dive insurance.
How long is a typical scuba diving experience?
A beginner session usually lasts 3–4 hours including briefing, practice, and one dive (30–45 mins underwater). Boat trips for certified divers often last half a day.
Do women need special permits or attire?
No special permit is needed for women to dive. A wetsuit is standard attire, and most dive centers are family-friendly and welcoming.
