“Everyone loves to fly and flying underwater is even better than flying in the air because there are things around you.”– Graham Hawkes.
Ocean lovers will agree with this because being a part of the underwater world is one of the greatest joys of life. Always thirsty for salty adventures, they look for opportunities to get below the surface. Swimming with marine creatures in an amazingly beautiful setting is something that one should try at least once in their lifetime.
The easiest way to do so is to snorkel in the crystal-clear waters of Oman– The Pearl of Arabia. Daymaniyat Islands, a protected area and a nature reserve in the middle eastern country, is the most sought-after location for an incredible snorkeling trip. It lies about 30 kilometres from Al Mouj Marina and comprises 9 islands with a total area of 100 hectares.
The small Daymaniyat Islands are one of Oman’s snorkeling hotspots. If you are a snorkeling enthusiast visiting this lovely country, then you are sure to get spellbound by its splendid coral reefs, bright fish, abundant sea turtle population, and whalesharks along its coasts.
Ranging from 20 to 30 degrees, the water at Daymaniyat Islands is usually warm throughout the year. However, the best time to go diving here is from August to May owing to the favourable nature, temperature, and environment. During these months, the water is calmer and warmer. This is also the best season to witness green sea turtles and hawksbill sea turtles nesting on island beaches. And if you are someone who has a strong desire to spot whalesharks, then go for diving between July and September end.
In the clear waters of the Daymaniyat Islands, you have a good chance of spotting turtles, colourful fish, eels, and rays. In addition to that, one can also come across whalesharks! Isn’t that the desire of every diver?
