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).

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, dolphins and nudibranches
Amazing marine life on Al Lith itinerary, highlight being hammerheads, even though water temp was around 28-29, still had sightings in the blue. In general great density of life on healthy reefs, large schools of jacks, barracudas, trevallies, snappers, reefs sharks on almost every dive, large pods of dolphins in lagoonas and surprisingly great macro stuff if you know where to look! The only boat on the area, unlike the other side of red sea, which makes the experience much more enjoyable. Thanks to the amazing crew and the guides Giorgio and Teseo.

Unforgettable experience, very grateful
We were very lucky to experience sharks on most dive sites. Highlights included sightings of large schools of hammerheads and silky sharks. Plenty of reef sharks, rays, shoals of fish, typical Red Sea marine life and healthy reefs. Weather and diving conditions were favourable.

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

A very good trip to gain experience from the challenging dives with current.
Overall, a very good experience! I thought the dives were challenging. Our dive guide Lee seemed a bit bored but found him very nice. But he was less attentive to us underwater. He was a very good skilled diver and knew thee sites very well. Lee was pleasant and friendly.

- We were only 6 divers so I really appreciated the space. I appreciated my own cabin!. I appreciate the great helpfulness from the dive and service crew!.
