Submerse yourself in a true Oman experience

Boasting stunning landscape and a plethora of diving locations off its 1,700km of coastline, Oman is a haven for the diving and watersports enthusiast. View the stunning rugged landscape of Oman’s northern coast from the clear waters of the Gulf, or admire from afar the beauty of the lush green landscape of the Dhofar region at the southern tip of the country.

With an abundance of dive sites off its shores, look below the surface and find a world of ancient shipwrecks, colourful coral and amazing marine life, from rays to black-tip sharks, angel fish to honeycomb eels and a trusted visitor to Oman’s waters, the sea turtle.

In the north, the waters of the Musandam peninsula benefit from supreme visibility, Habalayn Bay, north of Dibba, is considered one of the best spots in the marine reserve. This breathtaking peninsula is carved with fjords and cliffs which have created superb underwater wall drop-offs for divers.

Located just off Muscat’s pristine beaches is Fahal island, a diving gem with ten amazing sites as well as caves with varying depths, suitable for all diving abilities. The Dimaniyat Islands marine reserve is a cluster of nine islands stretching over 20km, all with superb visibility with rock faces and shelves in the north and shallow reefs ideal for snorkelling in the south.

Oman has a great supply of dive centres and operators, for more information visit the Oman stand during the International Dive Show and experience the warm and welcoming atmosphere that you can expect from this mesmerising country.
