About this site
Black Tip Reef is a dive site at the Daymaniyat Islands, a small archipelago of rocky islands north of Muscat in Oman. The dive starts among huge coral blocks. From there it continues to a wall that ends in a large plateau at about 18 metres, covered with coral bushes.
Rays and blacktip sharks are worth watching for, and moray eels hide in the caves below the rocks.
