Highlights
Saudi Explorer liveaboard is one of the few diving liveaboards operating along the Saudi Arabian Red Sea coast. Built in 2019 and accommodating a maximum of 20 guests in 10 double cabins, all with en-suite facilities and air conditioning. Bed types can be either double or twin style and all cabins are located on the main or upper decks offering views outside. There is an indoor saloon area for dining and relaxing along with a TV and bar. The sun deck is spacious and has comfortable seating and space to soak up the Saudi Arabian sunshine. On the main deck you’ll find a large dive deck area where divers can store their dive gear and get ready for entering the water at dive sites.
The Red Sea offers divers many opportunities to visit amazing dive spots and the Saudi Explorer dive liveaboard covers the top dive hotspots in up-and-coming Saudi Arabia. These include itineraries that visit the reefs of Yanbu (Seven Reefs), Rabigh (Five Sisters) and Al Lith (Farasan Bank). The reefs and marine life of Saudi Arabia are truly amazing and with fewer liveaboards operating here, it’s easy to avoid the crowds.

Expedition type trip into pristine uncharted waters
The diving was physically harder than expected. Deep dives (35m) and strong currents, and quite often we had to swim against the current to get where we needed to be. Our efforts were rewarded by sightings of hammerheads, big schools of barracuda and jackfish. Other sharks as well. Pristine untouched reefs where literally almost no divers have visited before. We saw no other boats at all during our week at sea. The crew are from Egypt and very experienced in getting divers in and out of the water quickly and efficiently. The boat is owned by Italians, so the food was very good if you like European.
