The Musandam is famous for the incredible underwater life. And diving here is as spectacular as Red Sea Diving.

The Omani waters are unpolluted,unspoilt and are teeming with tropical fish. You can also see dolpin, whaleshark, sandshark and live coral.

The Musamdam coastline, typical of Oman, is surrounded by rocky and gravelly outcrops. Quite frankly the effect is hellish, especially in the midday sun. The waters are clear, though and you can see colourful fish swimming around just from where you stand on deck.

THE MUSANDAM, OMAN - Kim recently had to go on a short business trip to Oman. The job was to direct and produce a stills shoot for a diving brochure. The client, Al Marsa, run two diving dhows (these are the peculiar shaped vessels in the pics below which look like Pirate Ships).
