Sindalah, NEOM’s luxury island destination, has partnered with premium dive experience provider, Dive Butler International to offer premier aquatic and diving experiences at the island development.
With Sindalah set to be the first of NEOM’s regions to welcome guests in 2024 the partnership with Dive Butler ensures that all visitors will have a truly luxurious Red Sea experience, both above and below the water.
Dive Butler will operate a five-star PADI dive centre and provide a selection of activities to fully explore Sindalah’s marine environment, ranging from snorkelling to sunset cruises. In line with NEOM’s vision, sustainability will be at the forefront of the operation.
Dive Butler will operate electric and hybrid vessels using only environment-friendly moorings and lead dives at some of the 100-plus sites identified as ecologically viable for visitor use.
This unique corner of the Red Sea offers an exclusive marine destination for guests. It is home to over 1,100 marine species, 15 per cent of which are endemic. Larger species, such as dugongs, turtles and dolphins are often spotted in Sindalah’s waters.
NEOM’s Chief Urban Development and Islands Officer, Antoni Vives, said: “We look forward to introducing the world to Sindalah, a stunning and unexplored island rising out of the majestic waters of the Red Sea. We are proud to collaborate with Dive Butler International to provide our visitors with the opportunity to explore the marvels of Sindalah’s waters and facilitate unique experiences across a multitude of marine activities. Sindalah, located in the north of Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coastline, will offer the world a new destination for sustainable and cutting-edge underwater exploration activities all year round.”
