    Shi B Al Kabir, just off Jeddah, offers a straightforward dive with a decent chance of seeing various reef fish. The reef structure here is gentle, making it a good option for newer divers or those looking for a relaxed afternoon in the water. Expect typical Red Sea residents like parrotfish and snappers, though nothing particularly dramatic. It’s a solid spot for getting wet and enjoying a simple Red Sea experience.
