Seven Sisters Five Corals – DUNE Arcadia

Trip itinerary

The journey begins with arrival in Jeddah, where guests are met and transferred toward Yanbu to board the liveaboard. Once on board, divers are welcomed by the crew, assigned their cabins, and briefed on the boat's facilities and safety procedures ahead of the week's adventure.

The second day starts with a check dive, giving divers the chance to adjust their equipment and get comfortable with the water conditions before heading toward the main dive sites. This dive is an important step before the more advanced wall and blue-water diving that awaits in the days ahead.

The boat reaches the Seven Sisters, a cluster of seven distinct coral reefs known for exceptional visibility and distinctive marine life. Strong currents here support an abundance of pelagic species, with divers keeping an eye out for the hammerhead sharks this area is famous for, alongside schools of barracuda and red snapper along the reef walls

Day 04 :
ABU GALAWA

The second day in this area focuses on Abu Galawa, considered one of the most beautiful dive sites around Yanbu. Located on the Seven Sisters Reef, the site offers underwater grottos, dramatic drop-offs, and abundant marine life, including barracuda, groupers, and a variety of Red Sea sharks.

The boat then navigates toward Mansi, roughly 80 minutes from port, known for its spectacular wall and drift diving in deep blue water. The reef wall begins around 10 metres and drops steeply into the blue, covered in pristine hard and soft corals. Strong currents make for a thrilling drift dive, with schools of snapper, trevally, and barracuda patrolling the depths, and the occasional hammerhead or tiger shark passing through. Visibility often exceeds 30 metres, revealing a vibrant coral garden near the top of the wall

The sixth day is spent exploring Noura and Maria Reef, two sites offering a change of pace with healthy coral coverage and calmer conditions compared to the drift dives of previous days. These reefs provide an excellent opportunity for relaxed reef diving and macro photography before the trip's final stretch.

The seventh day features the final dive of the trip, giving divers one last opportunity to enjoy the underwater world before the boat continues its journey south, arriving at King Abdullah Economic City (KAEC). The remainder of the day is spent relaxing on board and reflecting on the week's diving highlights.
