Hi Guys,
Herewith a small report on the latest Dive Site I have explored, Al Daymniyat Islands.
After having been diving everywhere in this region (Khasab, Musandam, Fujeirah, Muscat, North Tip of Musandam LiveAboard) as well as other famous dive Places like Similan Islands and Koh Phi Phi Thailand, Red Sea, Zanzibar, East Africa, ... I have found really the best diving place,
a paradise: AL DAYMANIYAT ISLANDS, 100km away from Muscat, approx 4.5h drive from Dubai.
Nature: Incredible!
Marine Life: Amazing!
Diversity of Fish: Massive!
Visibility: Awesome ( between 25 - 40m in shallow areas)
Dive Sites: Beautiful (coral gardens everywhere between 5-15m which gave us dive times over 70 minutes)
Corals: everywhere!
We were staying in the Al Sawadi Beach Resort, Hotel is nothing special at all, but the dive centre was well organized (launched 4 Speed Boats per day in total)
only drawback is that they only offer 2 tank dives per day, where you could easily do 3 a day as the dive sites are shallow and close to each other once you are out at the islands.
Nitrox: available
Dive Master: very experienced (Roshan 15 years at Al Daymaniyat)
My bussy and me, we like to be independent from other divers, and they gave us sufficient freedom to plan and execute our dives by ourselves, so yet again, very happy.
So, best to see the Underwater world is in pictures and videos.
