Diving in Oman – Watch Video

Published 11 years agoon August 5, 2014

The sultanate of Oman has been an insider tip amongst divers for quite a while. But only just recently, with what has been going on in Egypt, booking a diving holiday to Oman has become wildly popular. That’s not really surprising, considering the relatively short travel time from Europe and the enormous amount of marine life that is waiting for us divers there!

This video gives you a nice overview of what the diving is like along the eastern side of the Musandam Peninsula, located in the very north of Oman. Starting from the port of Dibba we spent 7 days cruising on the Red Dhow around the impressive rock formations, with not seeing any other dive boats for days! As long as you’re prepared to accept visibility that sometimes can be very poor (3-5 meters), this is a great location for a short diving get-away.
