ASIA - Jeddah

The ASIA wreck, off Jeddah, presents a proper dive into history. This steamship, sunk back in 1930, lies at a comfortable 25 meters, her 126-meter length still largely intact. We’ve found her superstructure holds a certain gravitas, especially when you consider her last voyage with 1500 pilgrims. The years underwater have softened her edges, and she's now home to a scattering of reef fish and corals, slowly reclaiming the metal. It’s a good one for wreck enthusiasts who appreciate scale and a bit of a story, without needing crazy penetration.
