The Damaniyat Islands consist of 9 islands and there are a total of 12 recognized dive-sites to explore there. Our first dive (which is my 19th dive to date) on Thursday, April 13th, was to Black Tip Reef; so named because of the black tip reef sharks which are often observed there. (Not on this dive, thank God! 😉 ) We were with Faisal, Muneer and the gang from Omanta Scuba. It was a beautiful day for diving!
Our motley crew heading to Black Tip Reef!
Getting ready for the dive…We were down for a total of 48 minutes at a bottom depth of 26 meters. (Apart from the 1st 2 pics of this post, all photo credits go to Denise Boyd! Amazing job as always, Denise!)
Here’s a video I put together from different clips I filmed during this dive:
Whether it’s for snorkeling or diving, anyone living in or visiting Oman should try to make it to the Damaniyat Islands at least once. Gorgeous!
Just beautiful!
Even more beautiful with the naked eye, Carol! 🙂
