About us

Founded in the year 2012, Giant Stride KSA has been in the diving scene for 11 years and actively training students and dive professionals along with other PADI Instructors in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Our philosophy has always been to share diving knowledge regardless of age and experience. We see to it that the diver not just meets the standards - but exceeds the training standards. We value each student for in Giant Stride Dive Tribe: you are a diver rather than a number. Your will build a strong camaraderie with your dive buddies, training partner and create friendship which you will cherish over the years. Regardless of your training level, you are treated with respect for at the end of the day, its the same air that we breath and same sport we are passionate about. It’s been years of countless dive tanks used; numerous boat dives; trained student divers and dive professionals that come and go; awards being given and a PADI Elite Instructor for five (5) consecutive years (2017 till 2021), but we are humble to admit that diving never stops and our continuing education in SCUBA training never ends. You are welcome to dive with the tribe, have a look and meet the team!

Our Main Objective

To make the student become a better diver and promote SCUBA diving as a family sport wherein it's an outlet to find a common ground, visit other dive sites, travel and dive together.We have been exerting a lot of effort attending different kinds of dive training to enhance our training methods, participate in the conservation and protection of the underwater world, and take our own ideals to the diving industry so we can share the best diving experience to student divers without compromising safety.
