Diving in Saudi Arabia

Yanbu is the second-largest city on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast after Jeddah and is known for its coral reefs and diving, according to the Red Sea Authority. The Saudi Diving Center in Yanbu offers dives to the Aiona wreck and Sharm Yanbu. Before Jeddah, the tourism authority lists the island of Bayadah as a destination for diving and boat trips, and its coral reefs are continuously monitored to protect them.
