About this site
This dive spot off Oman's Central Islands features a thrilling drift dive along a sloping reef. Strong currents sweep divers past vibrant coral formations teeming with anthias, batfish, and occasional reef sharks. The topography transitions from 12m plateaus to dramatic drop-offs reaching 30m+. Visibility often exceeds 20m, revealing schools of trevally and barracuda patrolling the blue. Night dives showcase active crustaceans and hunting morays. The site's exposure to open ocean brings nutrient-rich waters that support exceptional marine diversity.
