NAHED
Why dive here
NAHED is a wreck dive in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Water ranges 26-32°C, warmest July, August, September.
The Nahed, a bulk carrier that went down in 1977 after a run-in with the MV Eurocarrier, sits upright in 22 metres of water just off Jeddah's Middle Gateway. She’s a decent sized wreck, nearly 100 metres long, and while she’s been down a while, there’s still plenty of structure to explore. We often find schooling fusiliers darting around the superstructure, and lionfish are pretty common residents, tucked into nooks and crannies. It's a good dive for those who appreciate seeing history slowly reclaimed by the sea. Just keep an eye on your depth here, as it’s an easy site to linger on.
