So. The first of the big name fleets is coming to Oman.
If your thinking of coming, this is what they haven't told you in the sales info
Summer temps - their average states 33C or. 91F. Yeah right. June through Sept expect daily highs at 40C+ and night times 30C+. Also humidity above 60% making it feel even hotter. You'll still need a thin wetsuit as the sea temps can vary, so learn to kit up fast
Vis can be variable too. You can indeed get nice blue clear seas, but as the water temp comes down you get green plankton blooms as well.
Personally April till mid June, then Mid sept to mid Nov are my favourite times.
There is always the chance of whale sharks especially in the summer.
$3200 for a 7 night package seems a bit steep though, especially as most of the site are reachable by day boats too.
Good luck to them though, it'll be interesting to see how they do, fortunately I can dive all these sites for a fraction of the price
