There should be no problems as long as you've paid all outstanding dues and have confirmation from your bank related to that payment. You can call SIMA to confirm if you're not sure....how that helps. Read More

SCUBA IN THE EASTERN PROVINCE by dadofduck

Hi, Looking for a decent dive centre hopefully in Khobar although would be willing to travel to Jubail?? Any info much appreciated but looks like I'll have some free time next week from 24th August........

Go downtown at the back of Al Mana Hospital and on that same road there is a diving shop. They'll help you. If not there, you can go to the philipeano area and any of the fishing tackle shops have advertisements for diving clubs. Good luck Read More

SABTCO Bus Schedule: Khobar - Bahrain by angsta

Does anyone have an updated version of this? I have two different versions and i'm wondering which is the current one. 07:25 Vs 08:00? 09:55 Vs 11:00? 13:15 Vs 13:55? Many thanks.

Abdulkareem179

Go downtown to the Saptco Bahrain stop and ask. If that's not possible call them and soak in English. Ask them what you need and I'm sure you'll get it eventually, but remember in English! :-) Read More
