I stayed at the Oman Diving Centre and I will never return there...
1) Logistic side of the diving center absolutely not professional...
2) They had one boat confiscated, they rented some boats not designed for diving and it was a PITA to jump from them and return on board...
3) Beach seems great in photos but it is not true. Bottom is made of putrid sand, water is green and small fishes were dying due to the lack of oxygen... They ended up on the beach and the sun did the rest, just imagine the smell...
4) The never took us to the Dymaniat Islands (Spell ???)...
5) No guide available unless you pay for it, briefing were like this :"Go that way !!!"...
6) Night dives were done with no lights on board of boats (1 video-cam flooded due to this)...
7) Maximum depth 30 metres but expect to spend most of the time between 10/18 metres...
8) Water green (January) viz form 5 mtrs to 20 metres, no currents at all...
9) Colours not as vivid ad those you can find in the Red Sea...
10) Lots of morays, some turtles and lots of small fishes... Barracuda are present but they are very small...
I did not like the place but this is just my opinion...
