Enter the water with good buoyancy control established before you approach the reef, as sharp coral is close to the surface and contact causes damage to both the coral and you. The site has parking, showers, changing rooms, and a rinse station on site, so you can pack light and expect a comfortable turnaround between dives.
The Jeddah Corniche is accessible from the southern Obhur Creek area up to the northern coastal districts.
