Discover the hidden underwater marvels of Al Jadeer Island. Encompassing three distinct dive sites, this location has something for divers of all skill levels.

The first site is a majesty of coral, sure to captivate experienced and technical divers with an awe-inspiring coral garden reaching depths of 35m. Featuring strong currents, this site requires sharp awareness of your surroundings. It features two remarkable coral hills adorned with hues of yellow, green, pink and purple, engulfed in marine life like anthias, goldband fusiliers and groupers. With excellent visibility, the shimmering sponges and feathery white xenids that inhabit the corals give an illusion of swimming along a vertical rockery. A sandy plateau at 30m, home to further plumes of coral and the thrilling sighting of silky sharks approaching the reef for a feast, make this dive an unmissable experience.

The second site offers a relatively simple wall dive leading to a large sandy plateau, graced by three coral-covered pinnacles. Divers, upon reaching the plateau, are often greeted by Goldband fusiliers, their striking blue and yellow bodies a visual treat. The plateau ends with large coral towers, acting as underwater oases, providing food, shelter and protection for the local marine life.

The third site is a dynamic underwater panorama of bubble and brain corals accentuated by soft Dendronephthya hemprichi. The dive begins down the wall on the east side of the reef, and follows the current towards a plateau gradually sloping to depths of 40m.

The site’s terrain, studded with corals and teeming with marine life, making it an irresistible draw for the most seasoned divers.
