Dive into
Khasab’s
enchanting underwater splendours
Panorama Issue 2 / Summer 2020 10
Khasab, with its unique fjords jutting into the majestic mountains of Musandam Governorate, makes for perhaps one of the most exciting dive destinations in the Arabian Gulf. Khasab is a magnet for diving enthusiasts – both amateurs and professionals alike – eager to explore a magical world rich with marine life ranging from dolphins, turtles and eagle rays to big
eye trevally, sunfish and even whale sharks.
Diving options in Khasab has recently witnessed a significant uptick. To capitalize on the area’s rich natural assets, Freestyle Divers,
an Omani-based scuba diving and water
sports group, set up a full-fledged dive centre facility at OMRAN’s Atana Musandam, adding to the luxury property’s appeal not only as a splendid holiday destination but also as a base from which to explore Khasab’s diverse natural and marine attractions.
Packages by Freestyle Divers are tailored
to capture much of Khasab’s extraordinary underwater world. Traditional dhows ferry
dive tourists to little explored sites deep inside tranquil fjords all located within a 30 – 50 minute boat ride. The dive centre is equipped to cater to the requirements of all manner of dive tourists: from a single tank recreational setup to twinsets, or even closed circuit re-breathers, wet suit or dry suit, photography and video, or even free-diving. The Centre is also suitably equipped and professionally manned to provide a range
of beginner and professional technical training courses catering for any experience level.
