Site details

A Daymaniyat reserve dive on the western side of a bay, known for two narrow swim-throughs on a jutting section of wall at about 16 m. The reef offers boulder slopes and coral-covered rock with typical Daymaniyat fish life, turtles and rays, and the swim-throughs add interest for divers comfortable in tight passages. Currents are generally mild and the maximum depth stays around 20 m. Reached by boat roughly 18 km offshore from Muscat.
