Diving and Snorkeling
The waters around Salalah are rich and abundant in marine life, including Marlin, Sailfish, Sharks and Yellowfin Tuna.
With 3165km of coastline and clean, unpolluted waters, Oman is one of the best kept secrets in the diving world.
Diving in Oman provides adventure and enjoyment with dramatic wall drop-offs and scenic coral lined fjords, ranging in depth from 6 - 40m. Oman enjoys good sea conditions with an average visibility of 20 - 30m, Diving is relatively easy. During winter months the sea temperature drops to 20 - 25C and a 5mm wetsuit may be necessary. In summer, as the sea temperature rises, a 3mm wet suit will suffice. Night dives are popular and divers are often astonished by the amount of phosphorescence found in Oman's night-time waters.
Underwater life is abundant; a variety of intact hard and soft corals and a spectacular range of fish can be seen.
