Diving Oman’s Arabian Coast

Oman is the master of surprise. The coastline looks arid and stark, which makes the explosion of life underwater feel shocking. The water is nutrient-dense and green, fueling a food chain that supports massive honeycomb morays, stingrays, and leopard sharks. We love it because it feels undiscovered—you are often the only boat on the water, diving reefs that feel like they belong to you alone.

The Daymaniyat Islands are a sanctuary in the truest sense. The coral is pristine because nobody has kicked it. We keep returning because it feels like a secret garden hidden in the desert. It’s rugged, rocky, and full of fish that aren’t afraid of divers yet.
