So no more Musandam trips for non-residents.. Used to be possible, as far as I know.

It’s where you would start a boat dive having the seaward side of the rock to your left.

AKA shrimpfish? They seemed to be fairly common at the eastern side of Dibba Rock.

Have a look at EZ-ON WETSUIT from wetwear.com. There's a video right on their home page. I've had one since 2015 and it's great.

Hi Searcaigh, Always great posts, please keep them coming! BTW: Send nudibranchs: the alien invasion happening in the UAE's waters "..Marine Biology (who or what is this?).." :D:D

Beautiful! Is the friend a crustacean? Back to the topic though :D. 30-32 C surface and as low as 25 C at about 10 m at the 3 rocks 7 am this morning.

It's listed in Helmut Debelius' Indian Ocean Reef Guide. "Distribution: entire area including Red Sea". Did you see a pair?

It did sound that way, you’re right. I was hoping for some facts, although “hoping” is probably not the right word here. Actually, even The National was skeptical about it. Unlike Gulf News of course, which, to add insult to injury, called the shark “mammal”.

I don't of course, that was a genuine question. The whole thing is indeed very dubious.

Seamoth

That turtle looked in good shape to me and swam confidently enough. Also, according to Paul, it’s been around for a while. My computer showed 24 C on both dives, and also on the 3rd dive at Inch 1. Was wearing my 3 mm custom Wetwear suit for the first time. Very comfortable at that T...

As low as 23 C on Inch 1 and 24 C at Dibba Rock today.

Thanks DandyDon, Yes, I've decided to keep it. BTW, it came with a dead battery. The seller says he contacted Analox and they told him "they had purchased a bad supply of batteries and didn't find out about it until most of them had already been placed in their units and shipped". Luckily, it's...

Can't believe it! Just ordered one a week ago. Will be sending it back as soon as it arrives. Thanks DandyDon, Any personal experience with this one?

Please do let us know what they say. Very interesting!

+1 Also, there’s a motel about 5 km inland from the Millennium, where you can stay very cheaply, if all you need is a bed and a shower. I think I paid 15 OMR last October. Gulf Sand Hotel, Tel 26869999 23°45'47"N 57°34'41"E The Extra Divers at Al Sawadi were very good too, but I had the...

Thanks, Searcaigh! The T was pretty much uniform to 12m, I didn't go any deeper.

A big change from 31C at 10 pm last night!
