Hormozgan Province

Hormozgan Province covers a coastal stretch along the southern coast of Iran, facing the Persian Gulf.

Diving activity centers on dhow-accessible reefs near destinations along the Gulf and around Hormuz Island, with warm, clear water and seasonal visibility. Marine life includes reef fishes, wrasses, shrimps, and occasional larger pelagics. The area offers a range of dive opportunities, from shore dives to boat trips, suitable for recreational divers exploring the Indian Ocean margins.
