Departure from the boat

Imagine the Red Sea as it was 30 years ago — wild, untouched, and bursting with life. That’s what diving in Saudi Arabia feels like today. The kingdom’s stretch of the Red Sea remains one of the last truly unspoiled frontiers in the diving world, where nature still reigns and every dive brings a new surprise.

Picture drifting above vibrant coral gardens that rival Raja Ampat’s in color, while schools of hammerhead sharks glide gracefully through the blue. Thresher sharks make rare appearances, and every dive reveals a kaleidoscope of marine life that few have witnessed.

Join us aboard Sparrow, to explore the magnificent Farasan Banks and beyond — a region so pristine it feels like time stood still.

Discover the Farasan Banks

Farasan Banks is a hidden gem of the Red Sea: a remote archipelago of untouched reefs, white-sand islands, and crystal-clear waters. Ospreys and gannets soar overhead while sea turtles nest along the shorelines. Beneath the surface, dramatic vertical walls rise from the deep, teeming with life.

Expect encounters with whale sharks, hammerheads, and reef sharks, along with turtles, rays, and a dazzling array of hard and soft corals. Every dive here is a reminder of how extraordinary the ocean can be when left in its natural state.
