Oh the temptation is hard to reply to this amd now I have to provide even more identifiers of me on a public page (cue tinfoil hat but I don’t care, OSINT matters)However, if a senior member of the Saudi family goes out on one of their yachts, those same sleepy-eyed security forces will spring to life and shut down the entire coast to all non-royal traffic with the efficiency of German police or train station masters.
Somehow I do not see that. Plenty of trips to Egypt, only a few to KSA.But I’m also basing on a trend best observed (to me) here in Germany, most LDSs/Dive clubs that used to offer a yearly LoB in the redsea in Egypt switched to Saudi operators, and the rise of diving in general in KSA give me some perceived faith in that the Saudis would want to keep the touristic hype/trend to go upwards
You should have been diving there around the mid-80s to late 90sThe saudi of today isn’t the same as the one of 5-10years ago, I was shocked in 2023 after not visiting since 2018 at the state of things
I wish, a friend of mine mentioned having to walk 500m on reef just to find a drop off — ugh I hate him (envy speak)You should have been diving there around the mid-80s to late 90s
It was rare to even get on a boat to dive and the paperwork was ridiculous!
My statement is by no means a proper statistic, just what I saw aroundSomehow I do not see that. Plenty of trips to Egypt, only a few to KSA.
You could get longer walk / swim outs south of Jeddah.I wish, a friend of mine mentioned having to walk 500m on reef just to find a drop off — ugh I hate him (envy speak)
before I finally leave this region.
