MECCA
Why dive here
MECCA is a wreck dive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Water ranges 26-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Mecca wreck, a merchant vessel that met its end in 1976, rests upright at a comfortable 14 meters. It's a proper ship, over 100 meters long, and surprisingly intact for its age, giving you plenty of superstructure to explore. As you fin along its decks, you’ll spot resident lionfish peeking from shadowy corners and schools of snapper darting around the cargo holds. It’s a gentle wreck dive, good for divers who want to take their time and really soak in the history of a proper sunken ship without dealing with tricky currents or deep depths.
