Khasab Province

Khasab Province sits at the northern tip of Oman along the Gulf of Oman, anchored by the coastal town of Khasab. It acts as a gateway for exploring Musandam’s fjord-like inlets and sheltered waters. Diving here centers on sheltered, calm conditions with access to finger-like channels, rocky reefs, and abundant marine life in relatively shallow, nutrient-rich waters. Visitors typically base themselves in Khasab for day trips to nearby sites such as fjords and walls, with local dive centers offering boat trips, equipment rental, and PADI/SSI courses. While not as densely populated with sites as some larger emirates, the region provides accessible dives for beginners and experienced divers seeking sheltered, picturesque dives and macro critters along craggy rock structures.
