Exploring Saudi Arabia's marine wonderland

[al-Hasani]

Why do you keep bringing this guy all the time?

Haha, because that little guy is awesome!

You have to admit that. You can't disappoint a fellow little Najdi like that ever again.

nice pictures there, looks very similar to carribean

Thanks. You are welcome, bro. Anytime.

Indeed we have among the best marine wonderlands and coastlines in the world. Even internationally recognized. The Red Sea is a real gem. 1150 Saudi Arabian islands there alone. All of them tropical!

What a useless comment. You are neither welcome with that attidude.

Dude , a joke...it was a friggin' joke. Lighten up. But really, I wouldn't go there anyway. Too many other places I'd rather dive.

Something tells me that you are a false flagger anyway...

What's with the 'false flagger' sh!t ? Guys on this site LOVE to whip out that stupid phrase. I've seen it a million time in the short time I've been here. Nope, just a dude from Philly. Sorry.

Well, you can do whatever you want to. Like anyone cares. The Red Sea is known as the best diving sea in the world. Only the Great Barrier Reef in Australia has a bigger coral reef but that's not a entire sea nor do they have the same huge amount of islands.

Philladelphia. Sounds "great".

Not true. Palancar Reef is the second largest coral reef in the world. Dove it plenty, Belize to Cancun. Red Sea would be nice... but EVERYONE knows wreck diving the North Atlantic is the SH!T !!! Coral reefs are pretty, but a New Jersey wreck separates the men from the boys in diving. I like Philly and everyone DOES care what I do !!

 

[al-Hasani]

Whatever dude. The Red Sea has among the biggest coral reefs in the world and among the most rich marine biologies and nearly 2500 islands. A leading destinations for divers too.

Regarding wrecks than there is plenty of those too.

I am sure you do otherwise you would not be living there!

NYC/LA>Philladelphia.

Tarout Island with a history spanning 7000 years. If I remember correctly it is the third biggest island in the Arabian Gulf.

30k? That's some money. Yeah, they are quite expensive. My uncle and other family members own a few of them but no large scale breeding program like many other families. My father adores horses in general and I think that I inherited that likeness. It is not cheap to look after them and it is time consuming. Not sure if I would be able to have one anywhere. Unless I became a farmer back home. Then I could also buy plenty of Najdi sheep. The idea has grown on me lately. A bit tired of the academic life

Didn't you ever ask what @Yzd Khalifa does for a living ?

No sweet heart ... that is a Hyundai Santro job .. at best Azeera.

@Yzd Khalifa will be very unhappy with this underestimation.
