Site details

A shore-accessible bay near Mirbat, about a 45-minute drive east of Salalah, and one of the main dive sites of the Dhofar coast. Easy entry leads onto coral gardens in shallow, sunlit water down to roughly 18 m, ideal for the rich macro life Mirbat is known for. Divers find nudibranchs, flatworms, shrimp, octopus, morays and stonefish among the coral, with rays, turtles and barracuda passing in the blue. Conditions are easiest in the cooler season; summer brings the southwest monsoon (khareef) and rough, plankton-rich water.
