  • Routes naar Seven Reefs, Five Sisters en de Farasan Bank
  • Ruim zonnedek

De liveaboard Saudi Explorer is één van de weinige duikcruises die aan de Saoedi-Arabische kust van de Rode Zee vaart. Het schip werd gebouwd in 2019 en biedt ruimte aan maximaal 20 gasten in 10 tweepersoonscabines, allemaal met ensuite badkamer en airconditioning. Cabines kunnen zowel een dubbel bed als twee twinbedden hebben. Alle cabines bevinden zich op het hoofd- of bovendek en bieden uitzicht naar buiten. Er is een binnensalon waar gasten kunnen dineren en ontspannen, voorzien van een televisie en bar. Het zonnedek is ruim, met comfortabele zitplaatsen en meer dan voldoende plek om te genieten van de Saoedi-Arabische zon. Op het hoofddek vind je een ruim duikdek waar duikers hun duikuitrusting kunnen opbergen en zich kunnen voorbereiden op de duik alvorens te water te gaan.

De Rode Zee biedt duikers de kans om een ruime selectie geweldige duikplekken te bezoeken en de Saudi Explorer duikcruise zal je meenemen naar de allerbeste duikplekken in het veelbelovende Saoedi-Arabië. De reisroutes doen onder andere de riffen van Yanbu (Seven Reefs), Rabigh (Five Sisters) en Al Lith (Farasan Bank) aan. De riffen en het onderwaterleven van Saoedi-Arabië zijn werkelijk verbazingwekkend en aangezien er minder liveaboards in deze wateren varen, is het makkelijk om drukte onderwater te vermijden.

All in all lovely Experience

Farsan Banks is an amazing trip. Guides do their best to ensure everyone is getting the most out of the dives based on their experience level. We’d be the only boats on the site. Hammers, reef sharks and dolphins! The organization from JED to the port could be better. Some people waited 3 hours without notice. Also no net because its quite remote you don’t see any land.

If you are looking for diving off the beaten trail, this is it!

Experiencing something great without the crowds can be such a privilege in this day and age. That is exactly what this liveaboard offers, with the ease and comfort of a package trip. The crew is great, the cabins very comfy, the food excellent and the fact that this boat is twice the number of guest I've gotten accustomed to didn't bother me at all. The diving was good, despite most of large pelagic sharks out of sighr due to unusually warm water we still saw some of the big stuff. A word of caution though: due to absence of mass diving in this area, the actual conditions on the reefs in terms of currents and wildlife can be a bit of a surprise for the dive guides too, most dives are also deep dives with some ending up being genuine decompression dives. So not recommended for relatively inexperienced divers or for the faint of hearth.

Being the only boat around the reefs, the huge pod of dolphins we saw one morning anf the whale shark that casually popped up during a safety stop, the food that was just excellent

Amazing Crew!

We loved this dive trip, especially the amazing crew. Every single member was funny, welcoming and helpful. Aman is one of the most knowledgeable guides I have met, with more than 40 years experience in the red sea and as one of the pioneers in Saudi. The boat is a bit older but well kept. The crew will clean all cabins daily and meticulously. They offered night dives every day, which gives you lots of choice. You should prepare for a lot of current but will be rewarded by sharks - even a whale shark for christmas and dolfins. The corals are amazing at some sites, others sadly have been suffering under the climate change. Nevertheless a trip worth taking.

Great crew, good food, amazing dive sites.

Saw lots of Nudibranches . Only 2 dives on the first day and one dive on the last day. I wish they accommodate a bit more dives. I have lost my wallet and they helped me a lot with regards to this unrelated incident. Thanks
