Good safari on simple boat
The dives were really awesome except for the first day and the last day. The guides now know the diving area very well, one has been in Saudi Arabia for three years. There were tiger, silk and hammerhead sharks to see and beautiful reefs similar to those in Egypt.

Amazing Trip
Stayed on here for the 10 nights trip. We did 27 dives, 2 of which were night. We had a lovely time. The crew were all really helpful and made everything easy and comfortable. The chef was great and the food was very good, and Amr was attentive without being overbearing. The dive guides, Jessica, Tore and Lee were fantastic and patient, friendly, and down-to-earth people who clearly loved what they do. We were very lucky with the dive conditions and saw a large school of hammerheads and silky sharks, which was amazing. A few dive sites were completely dead though, so highly recommend removing them from the itinerary. Safety was unquestionable, and the organization was smooth. The team was kind enough to wait for me at the airport when I got stuck for an hour before I could get out, which I really appreciated. We didn't need to go all the way to Al Lith port as they managed to dock the boat in Jeddah - not sure if this is always the case. The rooms were fine, though the mattress was a bit too hard for my back. I was in pain the first couple of days until I added a cover under me, which helped a bit. Common areas were comfortable and versatile, whether we wanted to sunbathe, read, or watch a movie. The vibe on board was friendly, fun, and relaxed. There were plenty of snacks, maybe even too many and we had to control ourselves to stop grabbing them. The medical kits were well stocked, which was reassuring, and the captain was professional and gave us a very smooth trip.

Great alternative in the Red Sea to the usual Egyptian places. Very quiet and relaxing being the only boat for a week.
Very nice being the only boat from Saudi in the Red Sea so you just see no-one else for a week. The diving was great, reefs generally in pretty good condition (albeit with a LOT of fishing wires) and we saw hammerheads and grey reef sharks (amongst the usual Red Sea wildlife).

Hammerheads in Saudi
Amazing trip in South Saudi with silky sharks and hammerheads. Wherever you dive, walls or isolated reefs there's always a shark on the sight. The staff is super efficient and so so friendly and helpful as the guides that managed everything in a perfect way. Nitrox is available on each dive and two zodiac are always ready to reach the diving spots from the boat. The boat itself is very confortable, with plenty of space for the equipment and the cabin is very spacious and clean. Food is excellent and really a lot. On top of all that, we were the only boat around and definitely the only ones to reach the deep south of Farasand to explore new diving sites
