Saudi Arabia, a nation better known for its oil wealth, is rapidly reinventing itself as a marine sustainability player....

“Preventing tipping points requires ‘frontloaded’ mitigation pathways that minimise peak global temperature, the duration of the overshoot period above 1.5°C, and the return time below 1.5°C. Sustainable carbon dioxide removal approaches need to be rapidly scaled up to achieve this.”

Scientists emphasize that while local conservation efforts are vital, they are insufficient without addressing the root causes of climate change. "Without addressing the root causes of climate change, primarily fossil fuel emissions, restoration efforts may offer only temporary relief," experts warn. ​

By releasing cuttlefish ink—or a synthetic version—into the water, it may be possible to create a safe zone that deters sharks. This approach could provide a protective barrier, allowing divers to observe marine life without posing a threat to themselves or the sharks.

By day, you can relax in your private infinity pool, gaze at the marine life below, or step straight from your villa into the warm, crystal-clear waters of the Red Sea. The resort is completely off-grid, powered by renewable energy, meaning you can enjoy modern luxuries with a clear conscience.

For a moment, we thought we might capsize. All of a sudden, one big wave tossed the boat so violently that a girl in our group was knocked unconscious briefly. She banged her head into the side of the boat and started to bleed incessantly. There was blood everywhere.

Could there have been a better outcome if dive boats and rescue divers are connected to a global alerts system? Can there be an app for that? How about a Whatsapp or Telegram chat group (international and country based) so that rescue divers the world over can get a call and rescue when in need? What diving group wants to start such an initiative? 

Accounts from divers that are in Egypt: the liveaboard boats wating to take divers to exotic dive locations are...

A new clue as to where the Sea Story luxury dive yacht capsized on November 25? A victim's beacon was sent out near Port Ghalib. It was still sending on December 2.

Rescue site coordinates in the Red Sea after Sea Story listed and capsized and victims were rescued 36 hours later. There are 4 dead and 7 people missing.

A dive boat sank in November, killing 11 tourists, and a number of unaccounted crew including divers. Why are there still so many questions about the accident that survivors, family and the public are not being told.

As more time passes since the Egyptian dive yacht sunk on November 25, survivors are asking questions of how so many things could have gone wrong. From lack of batteries in the life vests, to leaking life rafts, to an unresponsive army. Why did it take more than 36 hours for those that couldn't escape the wreck to be rescued. Why was the rescue done by a private crew and not the Navy?
