I just saw this on CNN.com. It says Saudi Arabia is interested in developing tourism and diving tourism. The tourists, especially the lady tourists, just have to obey a few rules, like wearing the black robe (is that called a burkha?).
Come on down and party on our beaches. But no alcohol and no tanning allowed.
When the official being interviewed was asked how a woman is supposed to dive in a robe, he said exceptions can be made. Somehow I wouldn't want to risk getting caught in a legal dispute regarding my dive suit there.
