TIGERSHARKS AT YANBU

On my recent 3 day dive trip to Yanbu we have spotted several tigersharks at Marker 39 and Abu Galaba. According to the crew of the "Dream Voyager" they are seen quite frequently, with one spot having four of them nearly on every dive for the last month - of course not when we have been there ;-)

After the dive you can enjoy the simple but spacious and clean rooms, the large pool and the recreation area with billiard, internet etc. Also a dive shop is included.

AL NAKEEL BEACH MOVED TO NEW LOCATION

Al Nakeel Beach has closed down it's old location in June 2007 and the new beach is located north of the shell-roundabout, opposite the petrol station. The beach is a lot smaller than the old one and the reef seems to be in rather bad condition with lots of rubble around. Maybe the management will organize a clean-up to attract divers again to their site.

I HAVE MOVED TO RIYADH

Unfortunately our headquarters decided to move our office from Jeddah to Riyadh and so I had to follow late 2006. This means I will be far less in Jeddah and not be available for diving courses in Jeddah. If you are keen to take up diving in Jeddah, send me an e-mail jeddahdiving@hotmail.com and I will reply with the names and contact numbers of reputable instructors. For the time-being I am not teaching, but of course this might change again.

GOLDEN TULIP (ALBILAD) BEACH CLOSED DOWN

It seems that the Golden Tulip (former Albilad Beach) has closed its gates end of 2005. The rumor goes that the owner of that beach owns as well the new "Al Fau" Resort, next to Sheraton Beach, and hopes that all his former guests would now move to the fancier and more expensive place.
