Opal Diving Club

Based in Yanbu, Saudi Arabia, Opal Diving Club opens up the Red Sea to certified divers, beginners, and anyone drawn to the ocean. As a PADI 5-Star Dive Center with an international team of 3 PADI instructors, it pairs recreational and professional training with a welcoming, personalised approach — and as the only authorised SCUBAPRO Center in Yanbu, it puts a leading equipment brand within reach.

Courses and dive sites

The teaching menu runs from a PADI Discover Scuba Diving boat trip (from USD 175) through the Open Water, Advanced Open Water, and Rescue Diver courses, plus Emergency First Response primary and secondary care. Guided diving explores local sites including alsharm yanbu, Yanbu, and Al Fasma, where reefs shelter sharks, turtles, whales, eels, corals, and plenty of ocean fish.

The custom-built 12-metre boat, OPAL Voyager, adds shaded seating, a changing room, and onboard restroom, while shoreside facilities cover an onsite classroom, air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, and a retail shop. With five languages spoken, it suits first-timers and career divers alike.
