Dive Point is a PADI 5 Star Dive Center in Obhur Al-Shamaliyah, the northern seafront district of Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, and it runs shore-based Red Sea diving. PADI Travel lists a multi-day package with five open-water dives across three different Red Sea shore locations, chosen on the day according to conditions. Equipment rental is included, and surface-interval refreshments are not. The package requires divers to be at least 12 years old, hold an Open Water certification and have at least 4 logged dives, with free cancellation up to 48 hours before the start. The meeting point is the dive center itself, so visitors reach Obhur by car, taxi, Uber or Careem, roughly 30 to 45 minutes from Historic Jeddah depending on traffic. The Red Sea off Jeddah has warm water, coral reefs and wall dives, and the best conditions are generally in the cooler months. The package price is shown only on the PADI booking page and was not visible when checked, so visitors confirm the current price before booking. Uncertified visitors should ask the center about introductory discovery dives and the PADI Open Water course. Divers must carry a certification card and a logbook. Check the dive center's opening hours on its PADI listing, as they run morning and afternoon slots every day. Diving is a safety-critical activity, so visitors follow the dive guide's briefing, do not fly within 18 to 24 hours of the last dive and carry travel insurance that covers diving.
