Site details

The southern face of the Lima Rock pinnacle in Musandam, a more sheltered alternative to the north side when current or swell is running. Walls and boulder slopes descend steeply to a sandy seabed well beyond 40 m, with rich soft-coral growth and schooling reef fish. Currents are usually present and can be strong, so the side dived is chosen on the day according to conditions. Reached by boat from Dibba, it shares Lima Rock's reputation for healthy fish life and occasional pelagics.
