01 / The experience

Take your first breath beneath the Red Sea.

Try an instructor-led beginner dive from a coastal resort, with equipment and resort entry included.

Al-Haddad’s beginner programme introduces you to scuba diving from a diving resort on Jeddah’s coast. Start with the briefing, learn how the equipment works and practise the skills you will use underwater. An instructor then accompanies the dive, giving you a different way to spend a free morning during your E-Prix trip.

Choose this outing if you want an introduction rather than a full certification course. The advertised half-day programme includes the scuba equipment and resort entry, with underwater time usually around 30–40 minutes. It runs from shore at a resort, so confirm the selected venue and its facilities when arranging the day. Ask whether non-diving companions can come along and what their entry would cost.

Put the dive comfortably ahead of your flight home. Complete the operator’s medical screening before booking, discuss any health questions with a qualified professional and confirm the no-fly interval for your actual dive plan. Keep enough time for changing, the journey back to your hotel and a relaxed meal before the next part of your race trip.

05 / Good to know

Al-Haddad Try Scuba: frequently asked questions

01Do I need a diving qualification?

The operator advertises this as a beginner experience with no previous scuba experience required. Confirm the programme being offered and complete its medical and participation requirements before diving.

02Does the programme take place from a boat?

No. Al-Haddad describes this beginner programme as resort-based. Ask which resort is being used and whether you meet at the shop or directly at that venue.

03How should I plan my flight after diving?

Avoid a same-day flight and confirm the required interval with your instructor for the actual dive profile. DAN recommends at least 12 hours after a single no-decompression dive and 18 hours after repetitive diving; longer intervals reduce risk further. Follow any stricter booking requirement.

Editorial notes & sources

Event dates, admission conditions and GEN4 format reviewed 13 October 2026. Seller pages contain mixed historical timetable labels and conflicting starting prices; exact session times and unresolved current prices are withheld. The SAR 115/195 figures are the championship’s 21 September announcement, not product-specific checkout prices. December gate assignments, accessible approaches and event transport remain unconfirmed. City-place evidence is retained from the shared Jeddah library; December availability must be checked with each operator.

Season 13 lineups reviewed 13 October 2026. Dated announcements take precedence over Season 12 driver and team-directory labels. Five seats remain unannounced; the official September lineup table is supplemented by October signings and Wehrlein’s updated GEN4 profile.

Driver career totals and previous-season results are retained with their observed edition. Jake Hughes’s latest career page covers 2024–25; rookies have no invented Formula E race statistics. Historical car numbers are not confirmations of December 2026 numbers.

Team career counters are withheld where predecessor-entry totals or title counts conflict with the current team identity. Previous-season team results remain separately labelled.

Fortescue Zero’s announced entry is subject to FEO and FIA approval. The Lola name follows the championship’s September Season 13 table; its final entrant identity, operational partners and driver pairing require the final entry list.

Car names are published only where GEN4-specific evidence establishes them. Previous-generation models are not carried forward. Nationality and dates of birth follow driver profiles; Zak O’Sullivan’s date of birth is supplemented from Wikipedia.

Official photographs and logos are retained as research links only; no new driver, car or team images are published by this bundle.

Activity information reviewed on 7 October 2026 for 2027 trip planning. Operators confirm dated availability, prices and participation conditions.

The Track cost is an editorial estimate for a recreational rental session. Its expired SAR 59 promotion is not a current tariff; the allowance also considers JCC’s advertised adult prices. Obtain a current price and session length from The Track.

Saudi Safari’s cancellation page contains conflicting refund percentages. Obtain the conditions applying to the selected booking before paying.
