What Is the Discover Scuba Diving Shore Trip in Jeddah?

The Discover Scuba Diving Shore Trip Jeddah is a beginner scuba diving experience that starts directly from the beach at Sharm Obhur, one of the most beautiful and accessible shore diving destinations on the Red Sea coast of Saudi Arabia.

Unlike boat trips, this experience requires no fixed departure time. You coordinate directly with Jeddah Diving Center to arrange your preferred time, complete the required permits and paperwork in advance, and arrive at Sharm Obhur ready to dive.

Your certified PADI instructor gives you a complete safety briefing in Arabic or English before you enter the water — covering how to breathe underwater, hand signals, equipment use, and what to expect on the way down. Then you walk into the Red Sea together.

The noise disappears. Warm, clear water surrounds you. Coral gardens open up beneath you, with parrotfish, groupers, stingrays, and sea turtles moving through formations in every direction. Your instructor stays within arm’s reach the entire time, and your dive runs on one full air tank at a natural pace set entirely around you.

There is no rush.
