Purple Haze

About this dive site

This dive site is located in Bandar Khayran, Oman, and features a stunning wall that descends to 30 meters, though the dive typically stays shallower. Divers can enter a channel and follow the reef along their left shoulder, or remain in shallower waters to explore the vibrant coral gardens. The site is known for its unique purple coral, found in the deeper sections.

Marine life is abundant. Divers can expect to see an incredible variety of fish species around the coral, along with invertebrates and various types of hard and soft corals. While the description doesn't specify exact species, the diversity suggests a rich ecosystem.

The best time to visit is likely during the warmer months (October to May) when water temperatures are more pleasant and visibility is generally better. However, always check local conditions before diving and be prepared for potential currents, even mild ones, as suggested in the description. This site is suitable for both scuba divers and freedivers, offering a shallower area ideal for the latter.
