Oman

Al Khasab

Al Khasab sits at the northern tip of the Musandam Peninsula, Oman, facing the Gulf of Oman. While the area is renowned for dramatic fjord-like coastlines and scenic dhow trips, it has very limited diving activity, with only a small number of local operators and no established dive sites or centers within the immediate city. Visitors seeking scuba experiences typically combine surface exploration with boat trips to nearby coastal areas, where conditions can be rugged and water clarity varies. Freshwater options are not applicable here, and divers should plan accordingly for warm, changeable sea conditions, and potential currents along the peninsula.
