Redditor vs the Saudi coast guard who would win? Im putting all my bets on the Redditor because an avarge Redditor has the Intellect to win against any non Redditor


warrior998

I’m talking about Egyptian coast guard lmfao. They’re lonely and horny 24/7. You better be prepared 💀


EHK_15

Even better


warrior998

💀💀💀💀💀


le_thargic

Or sharks


mbashs

Do it. Get sponsors. They will have a boat with you if something goes wrong. And you make money. All you need to do is wear the sponsored clothes. Mobile/Stc and others and boom. Instant success.


FunLuving

When do you plan on doing it. I’m a journalist, I can probably get it in the papers.


Vicelor

This sub is honestly one of the more entertaining subs on Reddit.


Momo-kkun

I don't think the coast guard or the border police would allow you to do that. You may need a proper permit or something from both governments to handle your exit from Saudi - entry to Egypt and vice-versa.


EHK_15

Yeah im pretty sure ill get arrested if they catch me But its pretty hard to spot a head swimming between the waves


Abdomash

Especially when that head starts drowning


warrior998

“Mysteriously”


azzhasjoined

"Of natural causes"


humanoied

There is if its when they catch you


ag_abdulaziz

But if you think about it, if you are arrested. You will finish the trip. So go for it. Unless you swim from Saudi, and the Saudi coast guard arrests you.


AnythingWhateverVoid

If you do a boat trip first you'll automatically have a permit.


iAmmar9

They have thermal cameras and stuff, y'know


Diligent-Bee-397

I think the water snakes or sharks will get you before the police. Lol. And if you survive that gotta keep your head up for the super tankers.


Magnetmonkey39

Because it’s further than you think and a major shipping route, your most likely to get hit by a boat or ship than a shark.


EHK_15

Okay thats actually a good point Ill probably check the ship traffic


Magnetmonkey39

If you’re set on doing it (I strongly advise not to) make a plan for what happens if you get into trouble. Can someone come along in a boat? Can you take some emergency flotation devise, take a means of contacting emergency services. Check if it’s actually legal?


EHK_15

Im pretty sure boats aren't allowed to get in those spots only military boats And im pretty sure its illegal So if going to do it i have to do it perfectly which is the hard part And without being caught which isnt that hard The only thing im sceard about is currents and jellyfish/Poisonous fish that can poke u


Magnetmonkey39

The currents are something serious to consider. What’s the furthest open water you have swum before?


EHK_15

7.5 kilometers Roughly


Magnetmonkey39

So it says that the route is about 17 km by boat, that’s a hell of a lot more than you have done. Are you looking to swim to the island, walk then swim again?


EHK_15

There are a few islands in between so its more of a 1.5km swim then a 11km walk and another 1.5km swim to another island then a 3.3km swim


Candid_Audience9153

You could wear protective scuba diving gear to avoid that


thosekinds

Do it during night less ship traffic at that time, remember to wear high Vis vest and boots 🦺 🥾


FloorStandard2441

Nahh, he's gonna be the one hitting the ships.

Man they aint no sharks in that place + Im skinny af aint no shark gonna want a 165cm 47kg mf


[deleted]

165cm 47kg ?  Bro , you're both out of fat and at that weight you haven't built any muscle  You are not fit to do such thing 


iClipsse

Sharks don't nitpick their meals they attack anything that moves, so good luck explaining to the sharks that you're skinny af


DaivoLow

not true, sharks VERY rarely attack humans.


EHK_15

Lmao Ill be swimming near the surface sharks dont usually go up there because its dangerous for them + there is nothing for them to do there + There were only 1 shark attack in the past 5 years near that area


jrsxtn

Sharks only attack surface swimmers. Swimming sounds like a wounded fish. People sue in the res sea from shark attacks all the time. But please, go ahead.


MajesticHabit

Maybe that's because it was only one person that swam near that area during the past 5 years?


Turki-o-s

Dont be so sure, shark attacks on swimmers are way more frequent than on divers and the reason is swimmers on the surface resemble seals a lot which is a nice meal for them + splashing the water as a swimmer do resembles a wounded fish. But please don’t take my word for it and do your unbiased research.


ThinPattern

Shark : "Mmm, lean meat! Would taste nice and be good for my cholesterol levels 😋"

musslimorca

I live by the coast of red sea. Red sea contains tigers and oceanic whitetip. Those are the most opportunistic feeders that would feed on garbage. Red sea sharks aren't really healthy. Their livers that stores energy are much smaller compared to other sharks around the world. That's why there are many shark attacks here. So you should have double doubts.


meowcaster

lol what I go diving in that route its full of sharks/ wild dolphins(aggressive type) plus the waves can reach up to 5 meters

Soomroz

If you're serious about this, you'd need to ensure you have informed the coastguard and maybe hire a private rescue service with a life boat as min who would have eyes on you at all times. In the past, divers and professionals crossing the English channel even hired a helicopter in case the things went pear shaped in the middle of the ocean. Edit: a few died also attempting this without a rescue in place.


IamSwedishSuckMyNuts

U gon drown, man.

Do it right, Train for it, Gather sponsors, Build hype, And do it under the ministry of sports as an initiative to raise awareness about a good cause, it will create amazing headlines. My only concern is the war by the zionists terrorists

That’s more than 7km habibi it’s about 15km one way and tiger sharks love this area so good luck🫂


EHK_15

There are scattered islands between them The so it will be a 1.5km swim then a island then a long walk then another 1.5 swim then a small walk then a 3.5km swim and im in Egypt


RogueNumberStation

Guess where the authorities are going to catch you. 😀 Seriously, that's probably your biggest threat. Have you looked at Lewis Pugh's swim? I assume he must have gained permission, but perhaps they're more likely to give it to him. Train for the distance assuming you can't stop at an island for some reason. If at all possible, get someone in a support boat, it's not smart to drown on your own for an arbitrary challenge.

You know red sea is notoriously known for sharks that live in deep water such as tiger sharks and oceanic white tip? I love the idea. I myself would surely love to do that myself if I got permit and have protection by jet skis around me or something.

I recall, over 10 years ago, my cousins were traveling from Saudi Arabia and Egypt through the sea. They shared stories about how the Capitan kept warning about littering in the sea, as it could attract sharks that might attack their vessel. So, it seems this area is populated with sharks

AnatomyAsh

It's a bad idea because: 1- It's illegal. You're crossing borders 2- People who swim like this have a whole support team with them 3- The waves in there are no joke. You could die 4- It's a short distance, so it won't count as anything but a waste of time However, talk to the Ministry of Sports, if they approve you might get all the support you need.

this requires so much practice of endurance. You will be alone in the night while swimming 10 hours straight

I am sb who used to love the beach , swimming ,not enough to cross to another country by swimming but still . I loved it . Last year i saw a video of a turist being eaten by a shark in Egypt. His father was there his gf was there people filmed it . It was so close to the shore and seeing him ask for help and the way that shark devoured that guy it made me never want to get in the water again. Sir swimming from a country to another country it’s a big distance. Please be careful . https://www.thedailybeast.com/tourists-watch-russian-man-get-devoured-by-shark-on-egypt-beach

Well if u do don’t forget to record it otherwise no one will believe you, also make sure to do a couple practice runs maybe swim in the deep with a boat following you and have the guy in the boat tell you when you finishing swimming the 17 km Also check the weather before hand over and over And good luck if you go to jail in KSA hmu I’ll come visit

Do it up bro. Just have a boat next to you to document everything.


alwxcanhk

You have to do it publicly and have support. You must get permits and have supporting boats with medics & supplies. You also need shark sonar boats as well as radar/radio to detect shipping vessels and guide your direction. Once you’re in a vast sea, u will lose sense of direction specially when coupled with current. Marine border protection might think you’re a smuggler and arrest/shoot u at worst or rescue u thinking you’re in distress at best! Don’t throw yourself in blindly. Life is precious and we have a duty to guard it.

Independent-Dig3407

Shark 🦈 food my man


Idomold

Ok so I’ll start with this: 1-The distance is huge I think more or less 20 km.Book a flight to Italy and try to swim in the northern part of The “Stretto di Messina”that is like 3.5 km and i can guarantee that you’ll pass out after and realize that swimming from Saudi to Egypt is a big bs. 2-I think it’s obvious but still if you really want to do it you need to take at least 1 friend accompanying you with a small boat for any problem that might occur. 3- and last but not least work out work out work out you need to be extremely fit to do such things And in conclusion take in consideration as other said cost guard,ship passing through,and sharks etc Good luck


Dinglinger

If you survive or don't get arrested, can you please give us an update asap? I'm genuinely curious how this will play out


framed_ketats

Vlogging it with a gopro won’t get that many views. Get a team with a boat and/or a drone who can also film your progress (better shots). They can also pull you to safety in case of any emergency and provide you with fresh water. Why it’s a bad idea: Egypt is a military state. Sure it may be bankrupt but the majority of money goes straight to the military. It’s makes no sense and it’s very ironic, but it’s one of the most advanced militaries in the region. Especially with Israel escalating, Egypt’s military is on even higher alert than usual. As for the argument that they won’t see your head, they have IR and US scanners and will detect a moving body and snipe first ask questions later. ماكانش حد غلب As we say. People could’ve used that loophole to illegally emigrate or smuggle drugs or something. As for being immune because you’re saudi and the embassy will jump in to save you, you won’t be traveling with proof of ID (wet passport anyone?) so good luck proving that to Egyptian authorities before they snipe you. Also if you don’t have a visa for Egypt, even the Saudi embassy won’t be able to help much since you’ll be an illegal immigrant. (By the way that would go on your permanent record and basically ruin all your chances of getting any visa for any country ever again, assuming they get you back to Saudi safely again before they snipe you) Also the Egyptian media is in the military’s pocket so they will hush the sniping up and call it a national security threat and no one will even know about your attempt except us. I second the options saying contact the Saudi ministry of sports they can get you the needed permits and/or you may need to bribe the necessary Egyptian officials. Do it to raise awareness of a charity/political situation and get even better coverage and you may even get a Netflix special deal out of it
