GLAROS

The Glaros, an old carrier that came to rest off Jeddah in '76, offers a really compelling dive. We love this site because it’s a proper wreck, still holding its shape enough to feel like you’re exploring a sunken ship rather than just a pile of debris. You drop down onto the shallow stern, usually in good visibility, and the bow gradually dips deeper, maybe 18 metres or so, giving you a good range for a single dive. Our favourite part is swimming through the cargo holds. They’re spacious, open to the light, and always seem to have schools of fusiliers swirling inside, a shimmering curtain you can pass right through. Look closely at the hull plates; they’re completely covered in hard corals, a mix of table and brain corals, with big clusters of anemones housing clownfish. It's a busy, healthy wreck. We'd suggest going early in the morning, before any boat traffic kicks up, for the best light and the quietest dive. It’s perfect for divers who enjoy a wreck with character and don’t mind a gentle penetration.
