EVI
Why dive here
EVI is a wreck dive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Water ranges 26-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The EVI wreck, formerly the Radwa, lies just north of Jeddah, a steamship that ran aground in a fierce storm back in 1966. She’s a decent size, around 62 meters long, and offers a good rummage for divers looking for a bit of maritime history. The wreck itself is quite broken up, but you can still make out her general shape and the cargo holds. Schools of bannerfish and snapper often hang around the superstructure, and we’ve seen moray eels peeking from crevices. It’s a solid dive for anyone comfortable with wreck penetration, though some sections are quite tight. We’d suggest going early to avoid any afternoon boat traffic.
Safety Notes
Wreck site - avoid penetration without wreck diving certification. Watch for sharp metal and entanglement hazards.
