Middle Reef
Why dive here
Middle Reef is a reef dive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Water ranges 26-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
Middle Reef, just outside Jeddah, is a reliable spot for a straightforward dive. We've seen it on days when the current is mild, offering a relaxed drift along the reef wall, and other times with a bit more push, making for a faster but still enjoyable ride. Keep an eye out for the Flashlight fish hiding in crevices – they’re always a fun find. You’ll frequently spot schools of Yellowtail Surgeonfish moving along the reef top, and closer to the wall, we often encounter the Picasso triggerfish darting between corals. It’s a good option for a casual afternoon dive when you're looking to log some time underwater without too much fuss.
