Another new addition to our WWR Itinerary, Oman promises to become a regular fixture, with virgin reefs, warm water and a prolific amounts of marine life...

Located just on the south eastern corner of the Arabian peninsula, on the Arabian Sea, and having only recently opened up its waters to international divers the quality and untouched nature of Oman's reefs is nothing short of spectacular. The various dive sites along its coast range from pristine reefs and stunning walls to swift drifts, all offering masses of great wildlife. Key areas include Fahal Island, which attracts large quantities of Black Tip Reef Sharks and Turtles; the Daymaniyat Islands, which are considered so valuable as a marine reserve that they have been granted UNESCO protection, and the Straights of Hormuz, whose waters are so plankton rich that they attract over 900 species of different fish ...

The varied nature of its dive sites result in huge potential to see pretty much every fish in the book (literally), from Clown Fish; Parrot Fish; Wrasse and Angel Fish, through to Rays; Turtles; Sharks and maybe even Whale Sharks. These superb sites are also complimented by a superb desert background ...

Your accommodation for this one is as unique as the trip itself, with us opting for the individual bungalows at the Nabucco Resort. The bungalows each have air-conditioning; partially open air bathroom; are en-suite and have their own front deck and lounger area. The resort also has its own pool; restaurant and bar ...

Our hosts for the trip, Extra Divers, have recently (late 2007) taken delivery of their new purpose built 18m dive boat, giving us rapid and comfortable access to the best dive sites in the area ...
