Dive into Oman and save 25% with Dive Worldwide
Enjoy big savings at the luxury beachfront Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa with Dive Worldwide this summer on bookings made before 30 June.
Oman’s relative proximity to the UK makes it ideal for divers looking for a good value diving holiday. The Sultanate of Oman is surrounded by the Arabian Sea and Gulf of Oman, both attracting an abundance of marine life in their nutrient rich waters. Enjoy untouched reefs and copious marine life with plenty of healthy corals and large pelagics such as devil rays, leopard sharks and grouper on the dive sites around the Fahal Islands. It is also common to see dolphins, turtles and whales off the coast. Wreck enthusiasts will enjoy exploring the Al Munassir wreck.
Guests opting for the Explore Muscat break stay seven nights at the Shangri-La Barr Al Jissa Resort & Spa, a luxury, modern resort featuring three hotels and a comprehensive array of facilities. Among them are: a range of restaurants and cafés, shops, bars, a Cool Zone kids’ club, adventure zone, mini golf, three pools (a lazy river connects two of them), fitness centre, tennis courts and activity centre. The resort also features the secluded turtle beach and the Turtle Care Project employing a dedicated ranger to ensure the safety of the nests as well as raise awareness among the guests and local communities.
Included is a five-day/10 dive package with the onsite dive centre, which leaves time spare to enjoy the facilities, or to take a day trip to explore the desert, wadis or remote villages locally.
