All the details of the meeting and pick-up points up to the hotel or airport, all the very nice passengers, nice dives, the climate of the area, we only came across one boat in the sea, so this creates relaxing dives. The boat is very spacious, large living room to relax and for the breefing, always very detailed, safe diving. absolutely to be recommended. We will be back

A magnificent liveaboard
The dive guide worked hard to get us to see a lot of life on the dives and they were long dives. The staff were very friendly, they made us have a very good week. Beautiful dives with areas of well-preserved coral and lots of life.

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

Great two weeks
The second week was also an absolute pleasure for us. Diving at great spots, absolutely fantastic food and the helpfulness and friendliness of the crew made the week an event that will be remembered The Almonda itself is already getting on in years and this is also visible in some places. In this context, however, a stay in the dock is still on the agenda in 2025... We will then be able to compare it on our next tour. 😉
