About this dive site

This dive site is a rocky wall dive located on the inshore side of a small island in Oman. Navigation is straightforward, following the wall down. The site's history isn't explicitly detailed, but its rich biodiversity suggests it's a naturally occurring formation. The dive's focus is on exploring the intricate rock formations and the thriving life within the crevices and on the wall itself.

Marine life abounds, with a prevalence of moray eels making their homes within the rocks. The description highlights widespread hard coral growth, supporting a rich diversity of smaller creatures, providing excellent opportunities for macro photography. Expect a variety of reef fish typical of the region, along with the possibility of spotting larger pelagic species depending on the season.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months when visibility is typically best and marine life is most active. Experienced freedivers will find ample opportunities to explore shallower sections of the wall, while scuba divers can explore the deeper sections. Divers should be aware of mild currents and maintain a safe distance from any marine life. Always check weather conditions before heading out to the dive site.
