The popular diving site Old Club Reef in Messaid is located near the end of the road between the Q-Chem perimeter fence and the Sealine Beach Resort.
This is a favorite dive spot amongst many local people and features an artificial reef made up of several vehicles, school buses, a pickup truck and some small boats, as well as several piles of pipes and water tanks.
This shore diving location has an easy entry and its depths are from about 14-16 meters. Grouper are seen regularly, as are blue angel fish (who have a great love of bananas!) and other small local fish. Occasionally, barracuda will appear to add some excitement.
Location:
Can be found right after Q Chem plant and before Sealine Hotel. Between Q Chem and Sealine Hotel there is a junction, turn left if you came from Doha.
