Food, permits, guides, and safety equipment are included.

“Not all dive and snorkel operations are the same. This is THE boat and captain to go with. Do not make mistake of going with a different operator. Everything was professionally operated. Whether you are scuba diver or a snorkeler, you will enjoy this excursion and the owner who works hard to make the customer happy.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 18 reviews · 4 hours · from $194

You’ll learn scuba basics aboard a boat from Global Scuba, then make a supervised underwater visit and snorkel around Oman’s Daymaniat Islands. Instructors such as Emmy, Serena, Salim, and Behnas focus on calm, clear guidance. Expect turtles, reef fish, rays, eels, and possibly sharks, plus sandwiches, snacks, and drinks.

“An absolutely fantastic morning spent with Emmy as my dive instructor and her colleague Serena. Coming from no experience in diving, Emmy was thorough and concise in her instruction, taking me safely through the whole experience. Not one minute did I feel any panic or worry, every moment was unforgettable and I’m truly grateful for their care. Also I shout to Rahib, who was our fabulous captain, navigating us to Daymaniat Islands! Would recommend this to anyone curious or wanting to dip their toe into the diving world! ☺️🤿”
