If you're thinking about resort or liveaboard scuba diving in Oman, the top spots to check out are Muscat, The Hallaniyat Islands, Daymaniyat Islands, Salalah, and Mirbat. These places are home to wrecks, pristine reefs, and fantastic marine life, including everything from turtles, sting and eagle rays to reef and leopard sharks. Plus, you might even catch sight of pilot whales and whale sharks, making scuba diving in Oman a fabulous diving experience!
Just 7 hours away from the UK, Oman is situated on the south-eastern corner of the Arabian Peninsula and was until recently something of an enigma, closed off to the outside world. Over the past few years the country has opened its borders to travellers and is rapidly gaining a reputation for the quality and variety of its diving.
Why We Love Oman
Oman’s coastline, where the Sea of Oman meets the Arabian Sea, is a paradise for marine lovers. From turtles and mantas to rays and leopard sharks, the underwater world here is vibrant and unforgettable. This beauty is just one of the many reasons we love Oman.
