The boat was comfortable and in top shape, and the ride was truly enjoyable. The entire crew, from the dive guides to the boat crew, were extremely assistive and made the whole experience easy and relaxed. Farasan Banks diving was great - the dive sites were pristine, and we usually had all of them to ourselves on most days. The variety of the dive sites, the healthy coral, and the wide array of fish made each dive memorable. The dives were generally at the edge of plateaus at the drop-offs, and conditions were always optimal. Depths varied usually from 30 meters, but the diving was always extremely accessible
