Diving in Salalah, Oman

[monkeyfish]

Hey,

Anyone have any information on dive operators in Salalah? Not much current info on the web.

Thanks! :D

Same question, any dive shop recommendations for Salalah? Thinking of taking a short holiday in Oman for good diving.

When I lived there back in 05-07 there were 2 shops. Extra Divers was at the Crowne Plaza and SubAqua was at the Hilton. Now I tbelieve there is another Extra Divers shop in Mirbat at a newer hotel they were buildin when I left. Mirbat is actually where most of the "Salalah" diving happens. Although around the Salalah Port there are a couple places you can go to dive that are interesting. If I were going back on a dive vacation I would look into the hotel and shop in Mirbat. All the dive sites are right there otherwise you spend about an hour driving from Salalah to get to the dive sites. Are you set on Salalah? Muscat has great diving and more to do in town. The Daymaniyat Islands are fantastic to dive, same with Fahal Island.
