To the dive center and the dive guide: here is caution!!! Partly you are really ripped off. Although the prices are also publicly in the dive center but Frank the guide plans virtually in advance, what he wants to do with his guests. So be sure to check the prices before you go on one of Frank's proposals. An example is the day trip to the dolphin bay and diving with dolphins. Dolphins were actually there and we also dived with them - for a whole four minutes!!! The visibility was incredibly bad, so taking pictures and filming were impossible. The dive was then also over, because this place also had nothing more to offer except kilometers of sand ( you go from the beach into the water). Afterwards one is driven (whether one wants or not) still offroad by the area with photo stops and that's it. Cost of this highlight: proud 445 euros per person!!! That's touristapp!!
The diving: we were at only four different dive sites with a total of 15 dives. We dived every time alone without Frank who was the only guide on site. It was fine with us. We had booked and paid for a 15 l tank. But there was no tank. As a "replacement" the tanks were filled up to 250 bar - well. Also Nitrox was not available, although booked. The diving pleasure can suffer by all these things for some surely very much.
It is throughout a simple diving area with hardly any current. But because of the rather limited visibility, you should definitely have a compass with you to find your way around. And not everyone will be able to manage on their own underwater or feel comfortable without a guide. It should also be noted that the guide does not seem to know his area very well.
Oman has partly beautiful soft corals and anemones, numerous fritillaries, shrimps and crabs - so for macro lovers actually wonderful.
