You will likely see: thousands of reef fish, (sometimes on one large rock!), basking sharks, hammerhead sharks, (both are seasonal) other sharks, barracuda, lion fish, puffer and box fishes, flying fish. batfish, hump back dolphins, bottleneck dolphins, vase coral, finger coral, gorgonians. morays and turtles. Perhaps a sunfish.

Diving in Oman is still fairly new and the authorities are cautious, so be a good ambassador. The people are very friendly and you will shake a lot of hands. There is very little in northern Oman for the non diver to do. Your evening entertainment is what, and who, you bring with you. It gives you time to enjoy your friends company in very scenic surroundings.  

Many pictures

Culture note: - NEVER use your left hand for anything in public, like shaking hands - it's an insult, nor show anyone the soles of your feet. Be careful if you kneel down, sit on your feet! 


On 21st April 2003 the 84 metre/273ft wreck of the Al Munassir was sunk in Oman off Muscat. Let us know what you think of it.
