Eagle Bay (Oman)

About this dive site

This dive site is located in Eagle Bay, Oman, and is easily accessible via a 30-minute boat ride. The dive site features a relatively shallow, sandy channel running between two stretches of vibrant coral formations. Navigation is straightforward, following the sandy channel and exploring the coral reefs on either side. There is no known specific history or story associated with this particular dive site, but its shallow depth and abundant marine life make it a popular spot for divers of all experience levels.

The rich biodiversity of Eagle Bay makes this a rewarding dive. Divers can expect to see a variety of reef fish, including clownfish, triggerfish, moray eels, scorpionfish, and Moorish idols. In addition to these common species, the site is also home to octopus, cuttlefish, nudibranchs, and turtles. The coral formations themselves provide a stunning backdrop for underwater photography.

The best time to visit Eagle Bay for diving is during the cooler months (November to April), when the water is clearer and the visibility is at its best. The shallow depth makes this an excellent site for both scuba diving and freediving, and the generally calm conditions ensure a relaxing and enjoyable dive for everyone. However, divers should always check weather and current conditions before entering the water and maintain a safe dive profile.
