Scuba With Bill

And there’s scuba diving. With more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) of coast along the Red Sea and just under 500 miles (800 kilometers) of beach along the Persian Gulf, Saudi Arabia is home to some of the world’s most spectacular dive sites.

“It is the last untouched tropical coral reef in the world, simply because of Saudi Arabian paranoia. And thank God for it,” said Eric Mason, executive manager of Dream Divers in Saudi Arabia. “This place is a divers dream come true.”

Mason’s company has been offering scuba diving trips for more than three years, drawing coral reef enthusiasts from Europe and Asia.
