Saudia Scuba - Jeddah
Saudia Scuba is a name you hear often when talking about diving in Jeddah, and for good reason. The team there has a genuine passion for the Red Sea and it shines through in their operations. We’ve found them to be incredibly professional, with a knack for making everyone, from newly certified divers to seasoned pros, feel completely at ease. They run a busy PADI 5 Star IDC centre, so if you're thinking about going pro, or just looking to climb the PADI ladder, these are definitely the people to talk to. What we really appreciate about Saudia Scuba is their dedication to showing off the best of Jeddah’s reefs. They know the current patterns, the fish movements, and the quiet spots away from the crowds. We've had some fantastic dives with them, spotting everything from the resident green turtles munching on seagrass to schools of barracuda circling overhead. Ask them about their trips further afield to the less-dived northern sites if you have the time – that’s where you really get a feel for the untouched Red Sea. They’re a solid choice for anyone looking for reliable, knowledgeable guides and a focus on getting you to the best dive spots.
