Diving in the Sultanate of Oman: the Gulf treasure

Oman has coasts on two seas: the Arabian Gulf and the Arabian Sea and the Indian Ocean. This is a rare diversity.

What distinguishes Oman’s waters

Strong seasonal currents lift rich nutrients, and this produces dense marine life and unmatched diversity in the region.

Standout dive sites

Masirah Island
A flood of green sea turtles come to nest, and it is one of the largest turtle-nesting sites in the world.

The Musandam Gulf
Omani fjords of tremendous beauty. Deep water, rocks that drop vertically, and large fish.
