Would you dare to step into the water knowing sharks are circling nearby? Not in a movie, not behind glass, but right there in the open sea. Saudi Arabia has just made that question very real by launching its first shark cage diving experience in the Red Sea, offering a thrilling experience that’s equal parts adrenaline and awe.

For now, the experience is limited to one specific location: Ras Hatiba Reserve. The idea is to keep things controlled, safe, and respectful to the marine environment. Only licensed operators are allowed to run these dives, ensuring clear standards and conservation-first practices.

Participants enter the water inside a reinforced cage while sharks swim freely in their natural habitat nearby. Everything is focused around observation and responsibility, allowing people to witness sharks as they truly are, calm, curious, and essential to ocean life.

The Red Sea is known globally for its clear waters, coral reefs, and rich biodiversity. Divers can expect a full underwater experience, with the chance to see a wide range of marine species thriving in one of the region’s most pristine environments.

If this kind of daring adventure sparks your interest, you’ll want to explore what the Red Sea region has been building. For now, you can check out jaw-dropping destinations like Magna, mountain attractions such as Gamra Adventure Park, and ambitious coastal development Jaydana with waterpark.

Stay tuned for more news and standout updates from across KSA, because this first shark cage diving experience is unlikely to be the last bold move.
