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

My first liveaboard on Almonda, stunning exeperience
I recently had the pleasure of experiencing my first liveaboard on Almonda, and it was truly amazing. From the moment I stepped on board, the crew was available and always smiling, creating a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. Their great organization and flexibility made the entire trip smooth and enjoyable. The food on Almonda exceeded my expectations. Each meal was delicious, fresh, and thoughtfully prepared, making every dining experience a delight. Dives were nice despite the season, the corals were beautiful and marine life on and off due to hot water temperature which is notmal in July. Overall, my time on Almonda was exceptional. The combination of a fantastic crew, superb organization, delightful food, and stunning coral reefs made it an unforgettable experience. I highly recommend Almonda to anyone looking for a liveaboard adventure.

Diving in the pristine reefs of Saudi Arabia
It was a great week of diving. The boat was recently renovated. The crew was super friendly and attentive. Most of the reefs were pristine, and we saw some sharks and pelagics. A special mention to Leena , the transfer representative who did everything to retrieve my delayed luggage and send it to the boat before departure. It was really nice.

Great two weeks
The second week was also an absolute pleasure for us. Diving at great spots, absolutely fantastic food and the helpfulness and friendliness of the crew made the week an event that will be remembered The Almonda itself is already getting on in years and this is also visible in some places. In this context, however, a stay in the dock is still on the agenda in 2025... We will then be able to compare it on our next tour. 😉
