Expat Diaries - Red Sea Scuba in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia - Feat. CNN

It’s not everyday you have CNN International contact you off the back of a diving video you posted two years ago…
With a little planning we got a date in the diary to showcase what diving in the Red Sea is like. To say the least, it’s beautiful and there is nothing quite like it!
There are so many fantastic dive spots here, and for us on this trip we explored the beauty of ‘Cable Wreck’ - a dive to remember.
For me, I’m so grateful to have had the opportunity to have learned how to dive here in Jeddah and I’m truly blessed to be able to have all this beauty on my doorstep. Quite the contrast to life growing up in London…
For Thea, the pro Dive Master, who has experienced the best diving where she grew up in Indonesia, she still is in awe every time we dive here.
We hope you enjoy it as much as we did and if you’re here in Jeddah, get certified! It’s such a fun way to escape city life and enjoy the weekend.
We’d love for you to reach out and let us know what you think, and if you have any questions, just shout:

You know what they say about scuba divers and sea lovers? There are two types of people: those who pee in the wetsuit and those who lie about it😂, which one of you two was guiltier hahaha. If you don't mind, it'b be very hilarious and funny if you included inyour videos those moments in which you "release" yourself at the sea (even for the other divers if you want), it'd give the videos a funnier side and it'd make everyone smile in my opinion, if it's not a problem for you. By the way,I really hope you keep going with the diving videos, it'd be lovely to watch new content about it
