I'm going to apologize in advance because I'm probably repeating a question but...
I have 6 days free in UAE and/or Oman and wonder if it's worth taking a day or two to dive and if so, should I dive out of UAE (Dubai, I assume) or somewhere in Oman.
Long story:
I'm going to Abu Dhabi next week for a wedding next weekend. I've spent some time in UAE before and will be in Abu Dhabi for a few days before the wedding so I thought I'd hop to Oman for a week after. I have done zero planning for this trip and diving never crossed my mind until just now. (I'm also a rock climber and had been trying to find a rock climbing partner for a week in UAE and Oman but giving up on that.) I can either spend the 5/6 days driving around and touring/hiking (I'm big hiker) in Oman or I could delay going to Oman and dive from Dubai or something. Any quick recommendations for places/companies (I'll be travelling w/o any gear so all rentals. I have an AOW and ~40 dives but typical "vacation diver" so I go a long time between dives.)
Again, sorry for the likely repeat!
Thanks!!
