According to Arab News, the young Saudi man went missing on 16 February, having already completed three dives with two other divers.
The Saudi Coast Guard was called and, based on the position of the divers’ boat, co-ordinated a search.
By sunset the diver had not been found. Searches continued throughout the next day, again without success.
The diver was finally located on 18 February off Shuaiba, Kuwait, some way from his original diving position off Saudi Arabia.
Arab News’ source described the survival as “quite remarkable”, while saying that it was not clear whether or not the diver “is still OK”.
The source added that the diving group had reportedly been spearfishing, which is illegal in Saudi Arabia.
