Cable Wreck

The next name on the list of the best dive sites in Saudi Arabia that Toplist has compiled for you is Cable Wreck. The Cable Wreck at Abu Tair Reef is a fun diving trip and underwater scavenger hunt, with construction materials scattered all over its crash site! When the ship, originally named the Staphonos, went down in 1978, it was carrying a full load of supplies. Steel beams, cables, chain link fences, and even asbestos sheets can now be explored at depths of up to 24 meters by divers of all levels.

Divers who swim around the bow of the ship will almost certainly encounter the resident guitarfish, also known as a guitar shark due to its elongated body that resembles a manta ray and shark all rolled into one! In addition, large schools of goatfish, snappers, and the occasional whitetip reef shark can all be found at the Cable Wreck.
