AMAL - Jeddah

The AMAL wreck in Jeddah offers an easy dive on a substantial landing craft, sunk back in ‘86. Resting upright at just 10 metres, it's a perfect spot for divers looking to get their first taste of a big wreck without the usual depth challenges. We found the old superstructure fascinating, with plenty of openings to peek into the cargo holds, now home to schools of snapper and the occasional lionfish lurking in the shadows. It’s a comfortable dive, rarely with strong current, making it ideal for newer divers or those who just want a relaxed exploration of a piece of history.
